Abstract
The ketone, enol, and enolate forms of 3-sulfonyloxyimino-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-butanones can afford different intramolecular cyclization products, depending on the conditions. Reactions under basic conditions afford 2H-azirines via a neutral enol (DABCO) or isoxazoles and oxazoles via an anionic enolate (t-BuOK), while acidic conditions afford oxazoles (AcOH) and isoxales (TFA) via neutral ketones.
