Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1994.347

Benzyl ligand of Benzylbis(dimethylglyoximato)pyridine cobalt complexe was selectively converted to 3,5-diphenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole by a reaction with alkyl nitrite under irradiation of visible light.The reaction proceeds via an in situ formation of an oxim
