A nickel-catalyzed cascade addition/cyclization of 2-azido-N-arylacrylamides and cyclobutanone oxime esters for the construction of 3-cyanoalkylated quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones is developed. This reaction proceeds under mild conditions with good functional group tolerance and broad substrate scope. A preliminary mechanistic experiment indicated that the cyanoalkyl radical might be involved in this transformation.

We report an efficient photocatalytic protocol for the defluorocyanoalkylation and defluoroacylation of α-trifluoromethyl styrenes by utilizing oxime esters as radical donors, allowing for the preparation of diverse -difluoroalkenes. The treatment of α-trifluoromethyl styrenes with cyclobutanone oxime esters led to the formation of distal cyano group-anchored -difluoroalkenes. Notably, adding KCO as an inorganic base to the photocatalytic system afforded γ,γ-difluoroallylic ketones by utilizing acyl oxime esters as the acylating agents.

Simple and practical strategies for visible-light-induced C-H alkylation of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones with cyclobutanone oxime esters and hydroxamic acid derivatives have been developed under mild and redox-neutral conditions. These two reactions can be carried out at room temperature and obtain a variety of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives with cyano and amide groups. Moreover, the cyanoalkylation reaction of 2-amino-1,4-naphthoquinones can proceed smoothly in the absence of photocatalysts.

This manuscript describes the synthesis of γ-lactam from the nitrogen insertion reaction of cyclobutanones using an oxime as an aminating reagent with a catalytic amount of Brønsted acid. This method was employed with a more stable oxime reagent, which is a precursor analog of hydroxylamine derivatives with explosive properties. The reaction was tolerated by various substituted cyclobutanones and less strained five- or six-membered ketones.

A palladium-catalyzed radical Heck-type coupling reaction of cyclobutanone oxime esters with olefins under visible-light irradiation has been developed. The cyanoalkyl/Pd(I) hybrid species generated by selected ring-opening C-C bond cleavage of imino/Pd(I) species reacted smoothly with vinyl arenes, delivering the cyanoalkylation olefins under mild conditions. This elegant strategy has a broad scope and functional group tolerance.

Herein, we report a catalyst-free reaction of cyclobutanone oximes with chlorophosphines (RPCl), which forms a fragile C═N-O-PR species that undergoes N-O homolysis, fragmentation, and radical-radical coupling, leading to the formation of cyano-containing phosphine oxides in good yields. The reaction features an activation of cyclobutanone oximes for radical generation, in which RPCl plays a dual role as both an activator and a reactant.
