AUXIN-LIKE ACTIVITY OF 1,2-BENZISOXAZOLE-3-ALKANOIC ACIDS
Ricci, Ada,Amorosi, Sonia,Maggiali, Cesare A.,Ronchini, Ferdinando,Bassi, Maria,Branca, Camillo
, p. 817 - 820 (1995)
A series of benzisoxazole-alkanoic acids, differing in the length of the side-chain, have been synthesized and their activity tested on pea stem elongation, flax root growth and shoot regeneration from tomato cotyledon explants.All compounds had little or no effect on cell elongation or root growth, but a stimulating effect on shoot induction in vitro, thus showing that their activity, like that of 1,2-benzisoxazole acetic acid. is partly independent of the side-chain and is linked to the structure of the benzisoxazole ring. - Key words: 1,2-Benzisoxazole-3-alkanoic acids; auxin-like activity; pea stem elongation; flax root growth; in vitro shoot generation.
Facile preparation of protected benzylic and heteroarylmethyl amines via room temperature Curtius rearrangement

A step-wise, room temperature procedure for acyl azide formation and the subsequent Curtius rearrangement of phenyl and heteroaryl acetic acids is described. We have developed a protocol for room temperature Curtius rearrangement in MeOH or CHCl3 that provides an improvement over standard conditions, avoiding the use of additives or heat. This room temperature optimization of the Curtius rearrangement prevents the formation of side products often observed with benzylic acids, allowing access to a variety of benzylic and heteroarylmethyl amines.
