Hydride reductions of oxime ethers to hydroxylamine derivatives are facilitated by the participation of neighboring hydroxyl groups. Precomplexation with zirconium cation in ether-methylene chloride solutions is effective for selective C=N bond reduction. The course for stereochemical control is dictated by Lewis acid coordination complexes of E- and Z-oximino ethers which lead to the preferred diastereofacial delivery of external hydride.
