Palladium-catalyzed coupling of N-alkoxyimidoyl halides and boronic acids will be discussed. Effects of ring substituents on both the imidoyl halide and boronic acid will be addressed. These reactions demonstrate the potential to synthesize oxime ethers of specific geometric configuration despite small differences in the size of substituents on either side of the C=N bond.
