Transition Metal‐Catalyzed Reactions Involving Oximes

Oximes are an easily prepared and transformed unit, which are widely used in organic synthesis. The oximes, including oxime ethers and esters, could realize various transformations, such as C–H bond activation, Heck‐type reactions, N–O bond cleavage/C–N bond formation, O–H bond cleavage and couplings. However, there is no a comprehensive review on this subject. Herein, we summarize the recent advances over the past 15 years in transition metal‐catalyzed reactions involving oximes, focusing on the reaction scope, limitations and mechanisms.
