Electrochemical Oxidation of Substituted Amide Oximes and 4,5-Dihydro-1,2,4-Oxadiazoles

The electrooxidation of several substituted amide oximes to yield the corresponding nitriles, alcohols, and imidate was successfully carried out. The reaction products were dependent on the substituents. Additionally, 4,5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles derived from amide oximes were electrooxidized to afford 1,2,4-oxadiazoles in good yields.
