Chemoselective addition of organometallics to oxime ethers

In this paper, an efficient method for preparation of various substituted hydroxylamines from aldehydes is reported. We first prepare O-trimethylsilyl oxime ether in 5 M solution of lithiumperchlorate in diethyl ether (LPDE 5M) from condensation reaction between aldehyde and O-trimethylsilyl hydroxylamine, then add organosilane or organotin nucleophile in the same vessel to preparing the corresponding α-substituted hydroxylamines in one-pot synthesis.
