24. Because the glyoxylic oxime ether is activated by an electron-withdrawing substituent, it has high reactivity toward nucleophilic carbon radicals. See: (a) Miyabe, H.; Ushiro, C.; Naito, T. Chem. Commun. 1997, 1789.

For example, treatment of oxime ether 1 with isopropyl iodide (1 equiv) and a commercially available 1.0 M solution of triethylborane in hexane (1 equiv) in water gave the isopropylated adduct 2 (13%) accompanied by the ethylated adduct (13%) and the recovered oxime ether 1 (70%).
