Abstract

A frequently-cited and robust synthetic route to 3-aryl-5-methylisoxazole carboxylates is the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of alkenes and alkynes with nitrile oxides. 5b This procedure involves three discrete steps: (1) conversion of an aldehyde to the corresponding oxime; (2) α-chlorination of the oxime using N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS), usually initiated by HCl gas; and (3) reaction of the resulting hydroximinoyl chloride with a dipolarophile such as an alkyne, 6 the ...
