T. Sakamoto et Y. Kikugawa, SYNTHESIS OF ALDEHYDES FROM CARBOXYLIC-ACIDS VIA N-METHOXYIMIDOYL BROMIDES - DEOXIMATION OF O-METHYLOXIMES, Synthesis, (6), 1993, pp. 563-564
Aldehydes are synthesized by hydrogenation and subsequent deoximation
of substituted N-methoxyalkanimidoyl bromides, which are prepared in o
ne pot by reaction of the corresponding carboxylic acids with methoxya
mine and triphenylphosphine carbon tetrabromide. Regeneration of aldeh
ydes and ketones from O-methyloximes under mild conditions is also des
cribed.
