Highly efficient ruthenium-catalyzed oxime to amide rearrangement.
A wide range of aldoximes has been converted into the corresponding amides using the ruthenium-based catalyst Ru(PPh3)3(CO)H2/dppe/TsOH. The amides are generated in high yield and selectivity, with catalyst loading as low as 0.04 mol %.
