Abstract

A new convenient procedure for the preparation of a variety of α-hydroxy oximes from available aliphatic nitro compounds via intermediate N,N-bis(siloxy)enamines is presented. The mechanism of the key step, the rearrangement of N,N-bis(siloxy)en­amines, is discussed.

Our attempts to realize the transformation ANC → 4 as a one-step process (without isolation of BENA) failed because of the conditions needed for steps ANC → 1 and 14 differ considerably.

Attempts to selectively desilylate oximino group in derivatives 4a-i by use of small quantities of MeOH were unsuccessful because the desilylation of both functional groups proceeded with comparable rates.
