28. 3 (11 mg, 5 mol %) in toluene (1 mL) was heated to reflux for 3 h. After removal of the solvent the residue was separated by column chromatographic purification process (hexanes/EtOAc = 2:1) to afford benzamide, 119 mg (98%) as a white solid. In addition, acetamide was isolated together, 34 mg (19% based on acetaldoxime).
29. 4a The results stated that the formation of polymeric materials must be ascribed to the use of indium catalyst.
