Abstract

5-Hydroxy-3-phenyl-5-vinyl-2-isoxazoline has been synthesized by reacting benzonitrile oxide with the enolate ion of methyl vinyl ketone. From 5-hydroxy-5-vinyl-2-isoxazoline, 5- vinylisoxazole was then quantitatively obtained by dehydration–aromatization under acidic conditions. Similar results, though not quantitative, were also found by treatment in 2- propanol under basic conditions (i-PrOH/H2O, Na2CO3, reflux). In contrast to 2-propanol, ...
