“…The metal‐catalysed rearrangement of aldoximes has emerged in recent years as a promising strategy to achieve amide transformations . In recent decades several catalysts such as CuO–ZnO/C, Au/TiO 2 , [Pd(cinnamyl)Cl] 2 , bis(allyl)–ruthenium(IV), [RuCl 2 (η 6 ‐ p ‐cymene)], [RuCl 2 (η 6 ‐C 6 Me 6 ){P(NMe 2 ) 3 }], CuSO 4 ⋅5H 2 O, {Co III –Zn II } heterometallic complexes, KMnO 4 /NH 3(l) , Al 2 O 3 /MeSO 2 Cl, ZnCl 2 /K 2 CO 3 , RuCl(PPh 3 ) 3 , Cu 2 O, CuCl 2 , Cs 2 CO 3 , ZnO, SBA‐15/En–Cu and Rhodococcus rhodochrous cells have been used for primary amide preparation from aldoximes. Despite the development of these reported procedures for conversion of aldoximes to amides, there are still limitations in some respects, including harsh reaction conditions, specially prolonged reaction times, use of microwave power and high temperature, lack of generality and use of high‐cost or less readily available reagents.…”
