1 Oximes prepared from aldehydes or ketones by reaction with hydroxylamine can be reduced to primary amines in high yields. One can use various reagents for the reduction step including Ni-H2 in methanol or LiAlH4 in ether. Using a reduction reaction, carry out the following transformations:
a. 3-Pentanone to 3-aminopentane
b. Propanal to 1-aminopropane
