Abstract

A series of 3-substituted and 3, 5-disubstituted isoxazoles have been efficiently synthesized in moderate to excellent yields by the reaction of N-hydroxyl-4-toluenesulfonamide with α, β- unsaturated aldehydes/ketones. This novel strategy is associated with readily available starting materials, mild conditions, high regioselectivity, and wide scope.
