AbstractEthyl acetohydroxamate was efficiently arylated with diaryliodonium salts at room temperature under transition‐metal‐free conditions. The obtained O‐arylated products were reacted in situ with ketones under acidic conditions to yield substituted benzo[b]furans through oxime formation, [3,3]‐rearrangement, and cyclization in a fast and operationally simple one‐pot fashion without using excess reagents. Alternatively, the O‐arylated products could be isolated or transformed in situ to aryloxyamines or O‐arylaldoximes. The methodology was applied to the synthesis of Stemofuran A and the formal syntheses of Coumestan, Eupomatenoid 6, and (+)‐machaeriol B.

An efficient transition-metal-free method for the preparation of alpha,beta-unsaturated N-aryl ketonitrones under mild conditions has been developed. This reaction shows good functional group tolerance for both electron-rich and electron-deficient substituents on both oximes and diaryliodonium salts. Two examples of gram-scale preparations have been realized in good yields. Further transformations of these nitrones to different N-heterocycles have been demonstrated. DFT calculations suggest that N-arylation products are formed by [1,3]-phenyl migration of an O-coordinated oximate complex via a four-centered transition state, while the O-arylation products are formed by [1,3]-phenyl migration of a N-coordinated oximate complex.

An efficient Pd catalyst for the O-arylation of ethyl acetohydroximate with aryl chlorides, bromides, and iodides has been developed. Ethyl acetohydroximate serves as an efficient hydroxylamine equivalent for C-O cross-coupling, thereby allowing for the preparation of O-arylhydroxylamines from simple aryl halides. Short reaction times and broad substrate scope, including heteroaryl coupling partners, allow access to O-arylhydroxylamines that would be difficult to prepare in a single step by traditional methods. Moreover, the O-arylated products so formed can be directly transformed into substituted benzofurans in a single operation.
