pyridyl ketone oxime Id or Ie, 10 mmol, and an equiv-
alent amount of Lewis acid catalyst (CdI2/BF3·OBu2)
in 20 ml of benzene or CH2Cl2. The mixture was
stirred under the conditions indicated in Table 1 and
treated with 15 ml of methanol, the solvent was re-
moved on a rotary evaporator, the residue was dis-
solved in acetone or ethyl acetate, and the product was
isolated by column chromatography and additionally
recrystallized from petroleum ether or chloroform.
