Abstract
-2-Hydroxybenzaldoximes are reduced under mild conditions of ammonium formate/Pd-C in methanol to give secondary amines. Benzisoxazoles react under the same mild conditions to give the same products. A possible mechanism is suggested, involving the intermediacy of the benzisoxazole in the oxime conversion. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
