Enantiomerically pure N-tosyl-2, 3-aziridine alcohols are directly converted into 4-hydroxy-4, 5-dihydroisoxazole 2-oxides through oxidation to the corresponding aldehydes followed by in situ tandem nitroaldol-intramolecular cyclization. This study was concerned with (i) the selection of a suitable aziridine activation,(ii) the preparation of the target 4-hydroxy-4, 5- dihydroisoxazole derivatives in solution, and (iii) the elaboration of a solid-phase process ...
