Visible-light-mediated generation of nitrile oxides for the photoredox synthesis of isoxazolines and isoxazoles†
Abstract
Visible-light photoredox catalysis enables the synthesis of biologically relevant isoxazolines and isoxazoles from hydroxyimino acids. The process shows broad functional group compatibility and mechanistic and computational studies support a visible-light-mediated generation of nitrile oxides by two sequential oxidative single electron transfer processes.
