Conclusions
-
1.
The direction of diazomethane-induced alkylation ofα-oximinoketones is determined by the structure of the substrate: The presence of a fixed s-cis-carbonyl group leads to N-alkylation in the presence of E-isomeric substrates, and to O-alkylation in the case of Z-isomers; in contrast, the presence of conformationally labile carbonyl groups leads to simultaneous N- and O-alkylation of E-isomeric substrates.

2.
Increasing the polarity of the solvent does not significantly affect the direction of diazomethane-induced alkylation of cyclicα-oximinoketones, but leads to a marked increase in the yield of O-alkylation products in the case of conformationally labileα-oximinoketones.
