Radical Transformation of Aliphatic C-H Bonds to Oxime Ethers via Hydrogen Atom Transfer.

Herein, we describe a strategy for conversion of aliphatic C-H bonds to oxime ethers via hydrogen atom transfer. In this strategy, the decatungstate anion and sulfate radical play complementary roles in the abstraction of hydrogen atoms from primary, secondary, and tertiary C-H bonds of alkanes. The easy accessibility of alkanes and the broad substrate scope, mild conditions, and excellent regioselectivity of these reactions make this strategy applicable for the transformation of raw materials to high-value chemicals.
