Abstract

O-Propargylic hydroxylamines undergo smooth 5-endo-dig cyclisations upon exposure to 3equiv of molecular iodine to give respectable yields of the corresponding 4-iodo-2, 5- dihydroisoxazoles, which should find a number of applications as intermediates for syntheses amongst this useful class of heterocycles.
