Abstract

Abstract An α-oxime ester derivative prepared via treatment of an acetylenedicarboxylate or an α-keto ester with hydroxylamine underwent C-alkylation to the C= N bond of the oxime group by a Lewis-acid-promoted reaction with a trialkylzincate or a dialkylzinc reagent. The O–N bond of the thus obtained adduct was reductively cleaved under hydrogenolysis in the presence of the Pd-C catalyst to afford an α-amino ester. Treatment of the oxime derivative ...
