The synthesis of 伪-imino aldehydes has been achieved through the thermal [1,3]-rearrangement of O-alkenyl benzophenone oximes. A copper-mediated C鈥揙 bond coupling between benzophenone oxime and alkenyl boronic acids provides facile access to the required O-alkenyl oximes and a Horner鈥揥adsworth鈥揈mmons olefination can be applied to the 伪-imino aldehyde products to give 纬-imino-伪,尾-unsaturated esters. The scope of the method is described and mechanistic experiments are discussed.
