Abstract
The efficient reduction of oximes to amines with Zn and acetic acid under ultrasonic irradiation
Author(s): Yu-Qing Cao, Rui-Yan Liu, An-Li Qu, Yuan-Yuan JinZn andAcetic acid, as a kind of reducing systemcan easily reduce a variety of aromatic aldoximes or ketoximes to their corresponding amines in high to excellent yields under ultrasonic irradiation at roomtemperature.As against the conventional methods, the reaction times were shorted by 1h-4h.
