“…From a consideration of the reduction of cycloaliphatic ketones or oximes (134,297,317), the catalytic process should yield the cis derivative with respect to neighboring groups (NH2 polar), while sodium reduction should give the trans isomer (NH2 equatorial). Thus, the major product, "inosamine SA," from catalytic reduction of LXXXVIIIa and b must be XC, while "inosamine SB" obtained by the use of sodium amalgam must be LXLXXIX.…”
