The first synthesis of isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives by domino isoxazole-isoxazole isomerization is reported. Fe(II)-catalyzed isomerization of 4-acyl-5-methoxy-/5-aminoisoxazoles (dioxane, 105 °C) leads to the formation of isoxazole-4-carboxylic esters and amides in good yields. 4-Formyl-5-methoxyisoxazoles give methyl oxazole-4-carboxylates under the same reaction conditions. Fe(II)-catalyzed isomerization of 4-acyl-5-methoxyisoxazoles under milder conditions (MeCN, 50 °C) allows the preparation of transient 2-acyl-2-(methoxycarbonyl)-2H-azirines. The azirines isomerize quantitatively either into isoxazoles under catalytic conditions (dioxane, 105 °C) or into oxazoles under noncatalytic thermolysis (o-dichlorobenzene, 170 °C). The mechanism of the isomerization and dependence of the reaction routes on substituents at starting isoxazole core and reaction conditions are discussed on the basis of DFT calculations.

A novel effective method is reported for the preparation of 1-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives by Fe(II)-catalyzed rearrangement of isoxazoles having (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazono)methyl substituent at C4. The reaction proceeds smoothly for both E and Z isomers of 4-(hydrazonomethyl)isoxazoles, and this means it is not necessary to separate mixtures of E/Z-isomers of the hydrazones prepared by reaction of 5-methoxy/pirrolidino-4-carbonylisoxazoles and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. The rearrangement proceeds via the formation of an aziridine intermediate which can be isolated in certain cases. The 2-nitro group in the synthesized 1-[(2,4-dinitrophenyl)amino]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic esters can be selectively reduced in two steps via acylation of the amino group followed by hydrogenation-deacylation using H2-Pd/C.
