Abstract?,?-Unsaturated nitroalkenes are readily reduced by sodium hypophosphite to the corresponding oximes in the presence of palladium.
I think a digest on Kabalka's works would be wonderful. I know that Rhodium has access to most of his works, but it would be great if somebody else would create (at least the beginnings) a digest of his papers.
I would do this myself, but I don't have readily accessible literature materials right now. And it may be a few months before I do again.
Thanks to the bees for considering this request!
:P
I think a digest on Kabalka's works would be wonderful.Not to say impossible... He's an extremely prolific author, publishing 230+ papers only between 1990-2002:
http://atom.chem.utk.edu/kabalka/pubs.html (http://atom.chem.utk.edu/kabalka/pubs.html)
Unfortunately a lot of his writings are rather dull, the best stuff he's done has nearly always been co-authored with Rajender S. Varma, so I believe that any digest should be on the topic of Varma's works instead. I have not found a full bibliography of his works as of yet.

ReferencesI know that the layout sux somewhat, but it's really hard to place so many pictures of different sizes throughout a text without something strange happening in either Mozilla or IE...
Also, could you help me out with the reference link table? I know that at least half of the 150+ referenced articles are available on my site somewhere or here at the Hive, but not exactly where... If you can tell me which reference is found where, I'll add hyperlinks to them from within the review.)

Abstract
Adsorbed on clayfen, alcohols are readily oxidized to carbonyl compounds upon exposure to microwaves under solvent-free conditions. Tis rapid, selective and environmentally benign method conserves the use of excess solvents and toxic antioxidants usually employed.
And this transformation can also be undone... :)
