Abstract
A mild method for the metal-catalysed conversion of aldoximes to amides has been achieved by the combined use of copper(II) acetate and MeCN in EtOH under reflux. The presence of a catalytic amount of MeCN (0.05 equiv.) accelerated the reaction and improved the yield. Aryl, heteroaryl and alkyl aldoximes were transformed into the corresponding amides in moderate to good yield. 2-Furyl and 2-thiophenyl aldoximes, which possess a heteroatom lone pair positioned ortho to the oximido group, showed enhanced reactivity, and the corresponding amides were obtained in excellent yield.
