Abstract: A highly stereoselective synthesis of E-isomer of aldoximes was developed through a base-catalysed domino aza-Michael/retro-Michael reaction of hydroxylamine and 2-(R-benzylidene)malononitrile. This reaction generates (E)-aldoxime diastereomer in high yields (eight examples, isolated yields of 82-93 %), excellent diastereomeric purity (diastereomeric ratio higher than 95: 5 by 1H NMR), and proceeds under mild reaction conditions (aqueous NaOH, pH 12, room temperature, 4 h).

Keywords: isomer – aldoxime – hydroxylamine – 2-benzylidenemalononitrile
