Abstract

methyl-2, 3-butadienoate (45) in 15 mL of benzene was heated in a sealed tube at 80 OC for 8 h. Concentration of the solution under reduced pressure followed by silica gel chromatography using a 2% ethyl acetate-hexane mixture as the eluent gave 70 mg (20%) of N-tert-butyl-5-methyl-4-methylene-3-phenyl-5-carbometh-oxyisoxazolidine (48) as a clear oil: IR (neat) 2995, 1745, 1455, 1370, 1285, 1225, 1130, 990,910,865, 760, and 705 cm-'; ...
