Oxime ethers as useful synthons in the synthesis of a number of key medicinal heteroaromatic compounds

Heteroaromatic systems are not only prevalent in a wide variety of important classes of natural products and synthetic pharmaceuticals but are also used as a building block in organic synthesis. Therefore, synthesis of these compounds using new protocols is always interesting. This review is a survey of the literature describing methods for the synthesis of heteroaromatic compounds from oxime ethers.
