NMR spectra of trans-chalcone oxime, semicarbazone and thiosemicarbazone and their cyclic isomers (3,5-diphenyl-2-isoxazoline and 1-substituted 3,5-diphenyl-2-pyrazolines)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00909887

Earlier tentatively assigned structures for trans-chalcone oxime, semicarbazone and thiosemicarbazone, resp., have been corrected by means of NMR spectra: open-chain structures have been found for the title compounds formed in the acid catalyzed reaction, whereas basic catalysts lead to intramolecular cyclization with formation of 3,5-diphenyl-2-isoxazoline and 1-substituted 3,5-diphenyl-2-pyrazolines resp. Assignments in the NMR spectra were made by comparison with those from authentic samples of trans-dypnone and its semicarbazone.
