Au/Ag-cocatalyzed aldoximes to amides rearrangement under solvent- and acid-free conditions.
The gold/silver-cocatalyzed conversion of aldoximes into primary amides is reported. The reaction, which proceeds under neat and acid-free conditions, allows for the conversion of a range of aldoximes, and is a rare example of cooperative catalysis involving well-defined gold species.
