Visible-Light-Mediated Strategies for the Preparation of Oxime Ethers Derived from O-H Insertions of Oximes into Aryldiazoacetates

J Org Chem. 2021 Dec 3;86(23):17528-17532. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.1c02411. Epub 2021 Nov 18.

Abstract

Two visible-light-mediated O-H insertion protocols involving oximes and aryldiazoacetates leading to different products depending on the solvent employed are reported. In DCM, direct O-H insertion takes place. In THF, there is the additional incorporation of the ring-opened form of this solvent into the structure of the product. These metal-free protocols are mild and tolerant to air and moisture. The preparation of an acaricide has been developed as an example of synthetic application.
