Oximinotrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes under ambient conditions

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Aug 7;54(64):8885-8888. doi: 10.1039/c8cc05186k.

Abstract

An efficient protocol for oximinotrifluoromethylation of unactivated alkenes was developed via trifluoromethyl radical-induced intramolecular remote oximino migration under mild reaction conditions, providing a wide range of β-trifluoromethylated oximes. Other fluoroalkyl radicals were also applicable for this transformation. This method provided access to synthetically challenging medium-sized ring scaffolds and the 6,7,5-fused lactam skeleton.
