Abstract

An efficient reaction of 1,3-bis(het)arylmonothio-1,3-diketones with sodium azide provides 3,5-bis(het)arylisoxazoles in high yields at room temperature in the presence of IBX as catalyst. The reaction is applicable to a broad range of substrates. The reaction of β-ketodithioesters with sodium azide furnishes β-ketonitriles in good yields.
