THE reduction of ketoximas and aldoximes with lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) has been reported in numerous instances to give the corresponding primary amine. 1 However, in the reduction of cyclodecanone oxime 2 and in the reduction of certain aryl ketoximes 3 the primary amine was accompanied by an

โฆ Synopsis
A simple procedure for converting oximes to rearranged secondary amines is described.
Although the direct transformation of oximes to rearranged secondary amines is an important synthetic operation, it has never been developed to a useful level due to the lack of a satisfactory reagent for selectivity.
For example, the lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) reduction of oximes is known to produce the corresponding primary amines, isomeric secondary amines, and aziridines depending on the nature of oxime substrates and the reduction conditions. l-3 During an investigation into the chemistry of tandem Beckmann rearrangement-alkylation sequence, 4 we have found a simple and highly convenient procedure for obtaining secondary amines exclusively from oximes5 by the use of diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAH) (eq 1).
