Abstract

A palladium-catalyzed Csp3–H bond mono-aroyloxylation of O-alkyl substituted oxime ethers has been developed by using 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzaldoxime as an exo-type directing group with exclusive site-selectivity. With the wide range of masked aliphatic alcohol substrates and aromatic acid coupling partners, the protocol allows rapid access to various 2-alkyl substituted glycol derivatives in synthetically useful to good yields. The employed directing group is readily removed, accordingly affording valuable functionalized aliphatic alcohols. When the solvent from hybrid DCE/HFIP to CH3CN, non-directed oxidative cross-coupling is observed between the electron-rich aromatic ring of substrates and aromatic acid partners.
