The direct functionalization of an aliphatic C-H bond within a complex molecule through a free-radical pathway is a valuable tool in synthetic chemistry. Herein, we developed an efficient transition-metal-free approach to generate Δ2-isoxazolines from oximes by radical-mediated C(sp3)-H oxidation. Investigation of the mechanism suggested that in the presence of Selectfluor and Bu4NI, the homolysis of the in situ formed O-I bond generated an iminoxyl radical that facilitated subsequent 1,5-H transfer and C(sp3)-H oxidation. The title reaction involves Selectfluor-Bu4NI-mediated C-O bond formation in aqueous media under metal-free conditions. A variety of Δ2-isoxazolines are directly synthesized from oximes by remote intramolecular functionalization of C(sp3)-H bonds.
