Ring‐Opening of 5‐(Bromomethyl)‐2‐isoxazolines to β,γ‐Enoximes—A New Principle for the γ‐Substitution of Allyl Bromides by α‐Functionalized Alkyl Groups

Abstract

Reductive-eliminating ring opening of isoxazolines (2) is the key step of a reaction sequence for controlled γ-substitution of allyl bromides (1). The reaction may give oximes (3), ketones (4), or their secondary products.
