Tandem double acylation/[3,3]-rearrangement of aliphatic nitro compounds: a route to α-oxygenated oxime derivatives†
Abstract
A new tandem double acylation/rearrangement reaction of nitro compounds is described. It has a broad substrate scope allowing the mild and efficient synthesis of α-acyloxy oxime esters in high yields and regioselectivity. According to the obtained data, the mechanism for transformation was proposed. The utility of the obtained α-hydroxy oxime esters was demonstrated.
