Abstract

Photocatalytic benzylic C-H oxidation/cyclization of enaminones was efficiently achieved to afford oxazole derivatives under mild conditions. The oxygen in the oxazole ring originated from green oxidant molecular oxygen. The synthetic protocol features broad substrate scopes and good functional group tolerance. The combined experimental and theoretical studies reveal that in suit benzylic C-H oxidation/cyclization is involved in the reaction transformations.
