hydroxalamine in nabh3cn?

[ZZACk]

if one were to  use a dry meoh/ ketone solution and use hydroxylamine instead os annac or methylamine in a slightly acidic solution.before adding nabh3cn.
would one make mdoh or would they have to form the oxime then rereduce it?
hypothetically speaking of course.

That would produce MDOH, see

If MDOH is heated too much (as in distillation for example), it disproportionates into MDA and MDP2P oxime.

thanks rhod,
would one go about extracting the unreduced ketone, and removing the mdoh in dcm and then gassing or would another solvednt bee better? also how would one remove the meoh without convertingf the mhoh to oxime and mda i would guess with a vaccum distillation.

Follow the exact procedure in Pihkal and you'll be fine. There is very little unreduced ketone in there, mostly the ketone reduced to the alcohol.
