A direct copper-promoted three-component entry to trifluoromethylketoximes

Org Lett. 2014 Mar 21;16(6):1606-9. doi: 10.1021/ol500203m. Epub 2014 Mar 5.

Abstract

A new copper-promoted three-component method for constructing ketoximes has been developed. This transformation can be achieved using indoles/pyrroles with the in situ generated 2,2,2-trifluorodiazoethane and nitrite species under mild conditions, thus offering a direct pathway to (E)-3-indolyl/2-pyrrolyl trifluoromethylketoximes.
