The conversion of 1-phenyl-2-nitropropenes to an oxime involves a reaction with hydroxylamine (NH2OH). The nitro group (-NO2) in the starting material can be reduced to an amine (-NH2) using a reducing agent like lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4). This amine can then react with hydroxylamine to form the oxime.
