REDUCTION OF NITROALKENES WITH STANNOUS CHLORIDE IN NON-ACIDIC AND NON-AQUEOUS MEDIUM. SYNTHESIS OF α-SUBSTITUTED OXIMES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1985.243

α, β-Unsaturated nitroalkenes are readily reduced by SnCl2*2H2O in alcoholic media to the α-alkoxy oxime derivatives in high yields.In the presence of ethanethiol, the corresponding α-alkylthio oximes are formed.
