Abstract

Nitrosoallene-mediated endo-dig cyclization reactions producing (hetero)cyclic exo-unsaturated oximes (enoximes) are described. The intramolecular 1,4-type addition to in situ generated nitrosoallenes afforded α-substituted cyclic enoximes with exo-methylene units, which are the favored conformation for further cyclizations. The strong electron-withdrawing ability of the nitroso group facilitated the construction of five-to-seven-membered ring systems via C-O, C-N, C-S, and C-C bond formations, including a quaternary carbon center, at low temperatures.
