CROSS-COUPLING REACTIONS OF HALOISOXAZOLES WITH OLEFINS AND ACETYLENES
3,5-Dimethyl-4-iodoisoxazole (1a) reacted with phenylacetylene with catalysis by palladium (II) chloride-triphenylphosphine complex to give 3,5-dimethyl-4-phenylethynylisoxazole (2a).When 1a was treated with styrene under similar conditions, 3,5-dimethyl-
