Synthesis of 2-isoxazolines: enantioselective and racemic methods based on conjugate additions of oximes.
2010
The formation of 3-unsubstituted 2-isoxazolines by means of condensation reactions between α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and oximes proceeds readily in the presence of catalytic amounts of anilinium salts. Mechanistically, the process involves a fast conjugate addition of the oxime and a slower intramolecular oxime-transfer reaction. The rate of oxime transfer was found to correlate with the acidity of the catalyst. This finding enabled us to discover an enantioselective process in which the fragile conjugate-addition product generated in the first stage is rapidly cyclized into the stable isoxazoline under acidic conditions, with conservation of enantiomeric excess. In summary, herein we descr…
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of 2-Isoxazolines: Enantioselective and Racemic Methods Based on Conjugate Additions of Oximes.
2011
Acidic anilinium salts catalyze the direct formation of racemic 2-isoxazolines from enals and oximes by means of consecutive oxime conjugate-addition and intramolecular oxime-transfer reaction.
