3-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-ones has been accomplished
using terminal aryl alkenes via a biradical reaction intermediate.
Three consecutive sp2 C–H bond functionalizations
of styrenes afforded 3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-ones via the formation of new CN, CO, C–O,
and two C–N bonds. Both of the N atoms originate from TBN,
while the carbonyl oxygen is from the water (moisture) the other oxygen
from the NO part of the TBN.
