Reaction Conditions:

with oxalyl dichloride;Triphenylphosphine oxide in chloroform-d1 at 20; for 1 h;

Steps:

4.3.1. Method a
General procedure: To a solution of triphenylphosphine oxide (14 mg, 0.050 mmol) in either CHCl₃, CDCl₃ or EtOAc (2.0 mL) was added oxalyl chloride (102 μL, 1.21 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 5 min. The appropriate oxime (1.00 equiv) as solution in either CHCl₃, CDCl₃ or EtOAc (1.0 mL) was then added over 0.5 h via syringe pump at room temperature and the reaction mixture was stirred for a further 0.5 h at room temperature after which the solvent was removed in vacuo. Purification by flash chromatography (silica, 10-100% Et₂O/pet. ether) gave the pure nitriles.
