A variety of oximes were synthesized from the corresponding alcohols, alkyl halides, or alkyl sulfonates without using external oxidants. With this simple two-step procedure involving substitution with readily available TsNHOTBS and subsequent treatment with CsF, a range of oximes were

An ion-pair receptor, 1, containing both cation- and anion-recognizing sites, has been synthesized and characterized. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structural studies and (1)H NMR spectroscopic analyses confirmed that 1 forms stable 1:1 complexes with CsF in solution and in the solid

In the presence of TMSSnBu(3) and CsF, stannylation of N-Boc- and N-Cbz-α-amido sulfones proceeded very well to afford the corresponding α-amido stannanes in moderate-to-high yields. This reaction tolerated α-aryl-, alkenyl-, and alkyl-substituted α-amido sulfones as well as substrates containing either
