- Tandem synthesis of 3-halo-5-substituted isoxazoles from 1-copper(I) alkynes and dihaloformaldoximes
-
A tandem synthesis of 3-halo-5-substituted isoxazoles has been developed from 1-copper(I) alkynes and dihaloformaldoximes under base-free conditions. Thus, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and all its drawbacks can now be avoided completely.

- Process for the preparation of 3,5-disubstituted isoxazoles
-
A novel process for the preparation of 3-bromo- and 3-chloro-5-substituted isoxazoles is provided. Dibromo- or dichloro-formaldoxime is reacted with an excess of an 1-alkyne derivative of the formula where R is hydrogen, phenyl or 1-6 C alkyl optionally substituted by halogen, OH, OR', CHO, COR', COOR', CONH2, CONR'R" or NHCOR' where, in turn, R' and R", which may be the same or different, are a 1-6 C alkyl or haloalkyl, in the presence of (i) at least an equimolecular amount, with respect to the dibromo- or dichloro-formaldoxime, of an alkaline base selected from the class consisting of sodium and potassium carbonate and bicarbonate and (ii) an inert solvent in which the 1-alkyne is soluble at room temperature.
