Abstract
3-alkylpropargyl or 3-arylpropargyl hydroxylamines hydrochlorides were converted to 2-isoxazolines in good yields in refluxing methanol in the presence of K2CO3. Methods for 3-unsubstituted compounds and the direct transformation of a O-propargyl phthalimide into 2-isoxazolines were also developed.
