Electrochemically induced radical‐initiated reaction of vinyl azides with N‐hydroxyphthalimide resulting O‐phthalimide oximes with challenging for organic chemistry N−O‐N fragment has been discovered. The developed approach introduces in synthesis electrochemically generated O‐centered imide‐N‐oxyl radicals as the coupling components. Sequential formation of C−O and N−O bonds was achieved via generation and selective addition of imide‐N‐oxyl radicals, followed by recombination with iminyl radicals. A wide range of O‐phthalimide oximes was obtained with the yields up to 84%.
