AI Article Synopsis

  • An unexpected C-C bond cleavage occurs in pentafluorobenzoylamidoximes under mild basic conditions, leading to a new synthetic pathway.
  • This new method synthesizes 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-ones from amidoximes using either pentafluorobenzoyl chloride or trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) as acylating agents.
  • In this process, the pentafluorophenyl anion and trifluoromethyl anion function as leaving groups.

Article Abstract

An unexpected C-C bond cleavage has been observed on pentafluorobenzoylamidoximes under mild basic conditions. This observation has been exploited to develop a new synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-ones from amidoximes using pentafluorobenzoyl chloride or trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) as a double acylating agent. The pentafluorophenyl anion and the trifluoromethyl anion acted as leaving groups in this transformation.
