Reduction of Allylic Nitro Compounds to Oximes with Carbon Disulfide under Solid-Liquid Phase-Transfer Catalysis Conditions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1990-26869

A mild procedure for the synthesis of allylic oximes 2 from the corresponding nitro derivatives 1, using carbon disulfide as reducting agent in the presence of wet potassium carbonate and a catalytic amount of a phase-transfer agent, is described.
