Abstract

The reaction of N-tert-butylnitrones (la-e) of aldehydes and N-methylnitrones (2 and 3) of cyclic ketones with acid chlorides in the presence of triethylamine afforded a-acyloxy imines by rearrangement of N-vinyl-0-acylhydroxylamine intermediates. Hydrolysis of the a-acyloxy imines gave a-acyloxy aldehydes and ketones. The acylation-rearrangement reaction offers a new method for a-oxygenation of carbonyl compounds.
