Tertiary alcohols with adjacent nucleophilic labile groups are prevalent in bioactive molecules but are challenging to synthesize. Herein we introduce a direct, protecting group-free method to access α-tertiary hydroxy oximes via photochemical 1,3-boronate rearrangement. This reaction delivers high yields (up to 94%) using readily available boronic acids, is scalable to gram quantities, and allows for further derivatization to other nitrogen-containing molecules.
具有相邻亲核不稳定基团的叔醇在生物活性分子中普遍存在,但合成具有挑战性。在此,我们介绍一种直接的、无需保护基团的方法,通过光化学1,3-硼酸酯重排来制备α-叔羟基肟。该反应使用易于获得的硼酸,产率高(高达94%),可扩大至克级规模,并允许进一步衍生为其他含氮分子。
