Abstract

Electrochemical and chemical reduction of nitro alkenes in an aqueous HClO 4–CH 2 Cl 2– dioxane–(Pb) system afforded ketones and oximes in good yields, each of which can be obtained selectively by treating with either aqueous formaldehyde or hydroxylamine as a proper workup process, respectively.
