Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Cross‐dehydrogenative CO coupling of 1, 3‐diketones and 1, 3‐keto esters with oximes was realized for the first time. The reaction proceeds in the presence of the oxidants [KMnO<sub>4</sub>, Mn(OAc)<sub>2</sub>/KMnO<sub>4</sub>, Mn(OAc)<sub>3</sub>⋅2 H<sub>2</sub>O, MnO<sub>2</sub>, Mn(acac)<sub>3</sub>, Fe(ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>, Cu(ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>⋅6 H<sub>2</sub>O, Cu(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>⋅2.5 H<sub>2</sub>O, and (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Ce(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>6</sub>]. Twenty cross‐coupling products were synthesized using potassium permanganate (KMnO<sub>4</sub>), manganese(II) acetate dihydrate [Mn(OAc)<sub>3</sub>⋅2 H<sub>2</sub>O], or the manganese(II) acetate/potassium permanganate [Mn(OAc)<sub>2</sub>/KMnO<sub>4</sub>] system; yields are 27–92%. The synthesis can be easily scaled up to gram quantities of the target products. Apparently, the reaction proceeds <italic>via</italic> a radical mechanism in which the oxidizing agent serves to generate radicals from oximes and perform the one‐electron oxidation of 1, 3‐dicarbonyl compounds. The formation of oxime radicals was confirmed quantitatively by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The coupling described in the present study is the first example of the selective intermolecular reaction involving unstable iminoxyl radicals generated <italic>in situ</italic>.</p> <p> <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"> <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghnnqpzq3" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /> </boxed-text> </p> </abstract>
