Abstract

4,5-Dioxo-imidazolinium cation activation of 1-acyl-1-carbamoyl oximes provides cyanoformamides with very good yields in short reaction times. This method of activation offers high reactivity, exhibits a high functional group compatibility with mild conditions, and could be scaled up easily.
