要旨

The methoxime group has emerged as a versatile directing group for a variety of C–H functionalizations. Despite its importance as a powerful functional handle, conversion of methoximes to the parent ketone, which is often desired, usually requires harsh and functional group intolerant reaction conditions. Therefore, the application of methoximes and their subsequent conversion to the corresponding ketone in a late-stage context can be problematic. Here, we present an alternative set of conditions to achieve mild and functional group tolerant conversion of methoximes to the parent ketones using photoexcited nitroarenes. The utility of this methodology is showcased in its application in the total synthesis of cephanolide D. Furthermore, mechanistic insight into this transformation obtained using isotope labeling studies as well as the analysis of reaction byproducts is provided.

Our journal has a wide-ranging scope which covers the full breadth of the chemical sciences. The research we publish contains the sorts of novel ideas, challenging questions and progressive thinking that bring undiscovered breakthroughs within reach. Your paper could focus on a single area, or cross many. It could be beyond the accepted bounds of the chemical sciences. It might address an immediate challenge, contribute to a future breakthrough or be wholly conceptual. We’re a team from every field of the chemical sciences, and know from experience that breakthroughs that drive the solutions to global challenges can come from anywhere, at any time. You could even start an entirely new area of research. Too bold? Too progressive? No such thing
