Several years ago Hauser observed that treatment of aromatic ketoximes with two equivalents of strong base resulted in the formation of dianions which could be successfully alkylated on n carbon.L However, no information on the stereochemistry of the alkylated products was ever reported. We now wish

โฆ Synopsis
In contrast to an earlier report, aldoximes can be deprotonated to their dianions and alkylated in high yield.
In 1976, Kofronl and JungL reported that ketone oximes could be deprotonated and alkylated regiospecifically syn to the oxime hydroxyl. In his report, Kofron noted that "attempts to alkylate acetaldehyde oxime gave no identifiable product." He further stated that propionaldehyde oxime could be alkylated in low yield, and that major byproducts appeared to be nitriles.
1 Because of our interest in studying aldoximes as substrates in the oxime rearrangement cyclization, 3 we undertook a reinvestigation of aldoxime alkylation.
