Visible-Light-Induced Difunctionalization of Styrenes: Synthesis of N-Hydroxybenzimidoyl Cyanides
A visible-light-induced synthesis of N-hydroxybenzimidoyl cyanides from aromatic terminal alkenes is achieved by using Eosin Y as an organic photoredox catalyst. The process goes via a radical pathway with successive incorporation of two nitrogen atoms, one each from tert-butyl nitrite and ammonium acetate. The final product is achieved by the concomitant installation of an oxime and a nitrile group. DFT calculation supports a biradical pathway and all the proposed steps. A few useful synthetic transformations of N-hydroxybenzimidoyl cyanide are also illustrated.
Cu-Mediated Stereoselective [4+2] Annulation between N-Hydroxybenzimidoyl Cyanide and Norbornene
A Cu-mediated stereoselective [4+2] annulation between N-hydroxybenzimidoyl cyanides and norbornene (NBE) has been developed for the synthesis of 4H-1,2-oxazin-4-ones. The reaction proceeds through sequentially forming C-O/C-C bonds. The advantage of this reaction includes high stereoselectivity, excellent yields, as well as simple and mild reaction conditions. A total of 26 examples are presented along with some control experiments.
Alkylsulfonyloximes for high-resolution i-line photoresists of high sensitivity
The invention describes the use of oxime alkyl sulfonate compounds of formula 1 1R0 is either an R1—X group or R2; X is a direct bond, an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom; R1 is hydrogen, C1-C4alkyl or a phenyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted by a substituent selected from the group consisting of chloro, bromo, C1-C4 alkyl and C1-C4-alkyloxy; R2 is hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl; and R3 is straight-chain or branched C1-C12alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more than one halogen atom; as photosensitive add generator in a chemically amplified photoresist which is developable in alkaline medium and which is sensitive to radiation at a wavelength of 340 to 390 nanometers and correspondingly composed positive and negative photoresists for the above-mentioned wavelength range.

A convenient synthesis of α-hydroxyiminoacetonitriles from aldoximes
Aromatic α-hydroxyiminoacetonitriles can be conveniently prepared by a facile one-pot procedure in high yields involving chlorination of the corresponding aldoximes with tert-butyl hypochlorite followed by reaction with alkali cyanide.
