(Cyrax: "Re: Synthesis of amphetamines", Methods Discourse), Cyrax quotes a procedure for the conversion of phenylnitroalkenes to the corresponding acetoximes and ketoximes. Has anyone tried this procedure? Am I mistaken in thinking this looks like the easiest, fastest, high-yielding way of preparing oximes from phenylnitroalkenes? Any help greatfully appreciated.

This one uses Na₂SnO₂ made in situ, and yields are good:

Apparently that procedure is only good for small quantities, at least using straight SnCl2:

Rhod:in the article above cited they use THF as the solvent, Ritter mentions EtOAc as solvent...
