A cyclization of propargylic alcohols with tertbutyl nitrite at room temperature in air was achieved using Pd(OAc) 2 as catalyst. The first reported 4-oxoisoxazoline Noxides could be directly accessed from a range of multisubstituted propargylic alcohols in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. Density functional theory calculations indicated that the reaction proceeds through a palladiumcatalyzed NO 2 addition that efficiently generates a ketoxime radical, which eventually produces 4-oxoisoxazoline N-oxide.N itrogenous organic molecules play a crucial role in enriching the carbon-based natural world and are prevalent in compounds investigated in the pharmaceutical industry, 1 the agriculture industry, 2 organic synthesis, 3 and biological research. 4 Moreover, aza-heterocyclic compounds, a class of representative nitrogenous compounds, have drawn extensive attention for their potential biological and pharmaceutical activities. 5 In particular, isoxazoline N-oxides exhibit unique reactivity for the particular structure in this family and are well-known to be versatile building blocks in chemical synthesis. 6 There are several methods for synthesizing isoxazoline Noxides on the basis of relevant literature. In general, isoxazoline N-oxides can be prepared from functionalized aliphatic nitro compounds via intramolecular O-alkylation. 7 However, no general strategy can be used to afford the functionalized nitro precursors. Thus, intermolecular connection synthesis strategies have been developed, and there are two main types: (1) formal [3 + 2] cascade approaches 8 and (2) formal [4 + 1] annulation approaches. 9 In addition, it is reported that βhydroxy ketoximes can be candidates to generate isoxazoline N-oxides, which undergo an intramolecular N−O coupling process by some additive oxidants. 10 In this regard, although
