Carbon-oxygen bond formation via visible-light-induced O-H insertion between acylsilanes and oximes

Visible light promoted C-O bond formation reaction through O-H insertion of acylsilanes with oximes has been developed. The reaction occurred under mild reaction conditions (sole blue LED irradiation in the absence of any catalysts or additives) with a short reaction time and afforded the corresponding oxime ethers in moderate to good yields.

Automated summary

We have developed a visible light promoted reaction for the formation of C-O bonds through O-H insertion of acylsilanes with oximes. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and solely relies on blue LED irradiation, without the need for any catalysts or additives. The reaction demonstrates a short reaction time and provides the corresponding oxime ethers in moderate to good yields.
