Hydrolysis of imines and related compounds

Recent Literature


An efficient Pd catalyst allows the O-arylation of ethyl acetohydroximate as an efficient hydroxylamine equivalent with aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides. Short reaction times and broad substrate scope allow access to O-arylhydroxylamines that would be difficult to prepare. Moreover, the O-arylated products so formed can be directly transformed into substituted benzofurans in a single operation.
