title: Iron catalysed nitrosation of olefins to oximes.
abstract: Fe(BF4)2·6H2O/2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid catalysed nitrosation of a wide variety of substituted styrenes has been developed in the presence of t-BuONO/NaBH4 under H2 pressure (10 bar) in MeOH-H2O (5 : 1) to afford corresponding oximes in good to excellent yields.
