Hypervalent iodine catalyzed oxidation of aldoximes using oxone as a terminal oxidant generates nitrile oxides, which react with alkenes and alkynes to give the corresponding isoxazolines and isoxazoles in moderate to good yields. This reaction involves active hypervalent iodine species formed in situ from catalytic iodoarene and oxone in the presence of hexafluoroisopropanol in aqueous methanol solution.
Isoxazolines can be efficiently synthesized in good yields via a hypoiodite mediated catalytic oxidative cyclization of aldoximes and alkenes. This reaction involves active iodine species generated in situ from catalytic amounts of KI and Oxone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
