PERMANGANATE OXIDATION OF 3-METHYL-4-NITRO-5-STYRILISOXAZOLE:A CORRECTION
In contrast with a previous report, permanganate oxidation of the title compaund 3 gives the nitroisoxazolone 8 and not 3-methyl-4-nitroisoxazole-5-carboxylic acid 2 ; a reaction pathway involving the spirocyclisation of the carboxylate 10, is suggested.
