4-Arylmethylidene-4,5-dihydro-3-phenylisoxazol-5-ones were synthesized by the convenient three-component reaction of ethyl benzoylacetate, hydroxylamine and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of pyridine. The target compounds were also obtained by the rea

Isoxazolinones constitute a class of heterocycles utilized for the development of novel drug candidates. The cyclic oxime ester motif is also synthetically useful as it contains functional handles which have previously been used to provide access to an assortment of valuable compound classes not easily accessible by alternative approaches. However, asymmetric methods towards isoxazolinones are notoriously scarce. Herein we report the first catalytic asymmetric alkylations of isoxazolinones forming all-C-substituted quaternary stereocenters. The present studies were driven by the question of how to control the regioselectivity in the competition of different nucleophilic positions. The investigation of a direct 1,4-addition uncovered that a sterically demanding palladacycle catalyst directs the reactivity in the absence of a base nearly exclusively to the nucleophilic C atom, while at the same time it allows for high enantioselectivity and TONs up to 1900.
