Alkylation of the dimethylglyoximato ligands in reduced cobaloxime

Abstract
Cobalt(II) cobaloximes can undergo atom transfer reactions with certain alkyl halides to give the corresponding alkyl cobalt(III) cobaloximes. However, in the presence of powerfully electrophilic alkyl halides, such as chloromethyl methyl ether, reaction at the periphery, and not at the cobalt, occurs to give dimethylglyoxime-O-methoxymethyl ether.
