N‐benzyl fluoro nitrone 1 (1 equivalent) and methyl phe-
nyl propiolate (1 equivalent) was mixed together and ball‐
milled at 30 Hz for 6 hours in a 10‐mL steel vessel and
15‐mm diameter balls at room temperature (16°C). After
the completion of reaction, the reaction mixture was
taken in CH2Cl2. It was filtered on cotton for the removal
of NaCl. The filtrate was evaporated under vacuum to
afford crude fluoro isoxazoline as dark red gummy liquid
(91%). The crude product was directly charged on silica
gel column and eluted with a mixture of ethyl acetate:
n‐hexane (1:8) to afford pure fluoro isoxazoline 5 (entry 4,
Table 1, Scheme 1). The same methodology was adopted
for the synthesis of other fluoro isoxazoline derivatives
(entries 5 and 6).
