The photolysis of 2,3-dimethyl-4-phenoxy- and 4-thiophenoxyisoxazol-5(2H)-one in methanol has been re-examined, but no new products were isolated. Flash vacuum pyrolysis of the former gave a novel product, phenyl N-methylpropenimidate, from rearrangement of the intermediate carbene. Irradiation of the 3-hydroxy-2-phenyl-4-carboxylate gave two products which arise from the 3-hydroxy and 5-hydroxy tautomers. By contrast, the 3-hydroxy-4-acetyl isoxazolone reacted exclusively as one tautomer giving the expected loss of CO2 to form the carbene which was captured by methanol on photolysis, or underwent methyl migration and cyclisation to 3-methylazetidine-1,3-dione on pyrolysis. 3-Amino and 3-phenylamino substituted isoxazolones also gave photolysis and pyrolysis products characteristic of discrete tautomers.
