The aqueous medium radical reactions of a variety of imine derivatives such as oxime ether, oxime, hydrazone, nitrone, and N-sulfonylimine were investigated. Triethylborane-mediated intermolecular alkyl radical addition to glyoxylic oxime ether, oxime, and nitrone in water proceeded smoothly to give
