An efficient and rapid protocol for the synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted and 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles under catalyst-free conditions is described. This protocol involves pre-oxidation of aldoxime into nitrile oxide using diacetoxyiodobenzene. The in situ generated nitrile oxide was trapped with dipolarophiles for the formation of functionally rich isoxazoles via [3+2] cycloaddition.
