Abstract

Visible-light photoredox catalysis enables a green method for [3 + 2] cycloaddition of oxaziridines with alkynes to form 4-isoxazolines in good yields. This atom-economical reaction tolerates various functional groups. Moreover, the cyclization products can be conveniently converted into tetrasubstituted allylic alcohols and enamines.
