Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of conjugated nitroalkenes using decaborane: synthesis of oximes.

alpha,beta-Unsaturated nitroalkenes are readily reduced to the corresponding aldoximes and ketoximes in good yields, using a system of decaborane (B10H14) and DMSO in methanol in the presence of 10% Pd/C at room temperature under nitrogen.
