Abstract

An efficient oxidative aminooxyarylation of alkenes under a transition-metal-free condition was described. Under the reaction conditions, N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) reacted readily with N-arylacrylamides to produce cyclic products via a radical C-H functionalization process, achieving both C-O and C-C bonds formation in one pot. This reaction provided a facile access to the valuable aminooxylated oxindoles. The benzylic and α-methylene C(sp3)-H bonds were also aminooxylated under the reaction conditions.
