Abstract
Dilithium derivatives of ketoximes react with alkyl halides and carbonyl compounds to give a- substituted ox-imes. The position of substitution is governed by the configuration of the oxime. The intermediate monolithio ox-imes are configurationally stable, allowing successive substitution on the same carbon. Since no oxime exchange is observed with carbonyl compounds, directed aldol condensation is possible.
