N2  - Reaction of saturated oximes with aqueous alkaline sodium borohydride at reflux gives the corresponding alcohols in good yields whereas oximes of conjugated carbonyl compounds do not react. &#945;-Hydroxyimino ketones (1) yield 1,2-diols in good yields under the above conditions. The synthetic applications and a possible mechanism of these reductions are discussed.
