摘要

The first NHC-palladium-catalyzed regioselective oxyarylation of oxime ether in a task-specific ionic liquid via C(sp(3))-O and C(sp(2))-O bond cleavage of two different types of ethers for the assembly of structurally diverse 4-arylisoxazoles is described. Both the basic ionic liquid [C(3)NH(2)mim]Br and NHC-Pd catalyst IPr-Pd-Im-Cl-2 played an important role in this transformation. Notably, this new approach provides a practical and straightforward route to access a broad range of privileged 4-arylisoxazole structures with good yields and excellent regioselectivities. Significantly, this catalytic system can be recycled up to eight times without significant loss of catalytic activity.
