Synthesis of 3-isoxazolines

Recent Literature


The use of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) enables a versatile approach to isoxazolines and pyrazolines by the cyclization of alkyne substrates under mild reaction conditions. A deprotection/functionalization method is described, leading to a substituted pyrazoline in good diastereoselectivity.

A Cu(I)-catalyzed three-component reaction of terminal alkynes, trifluoromethyl diazo compounds, and nitrosoarenes provides a series of trifluoromethyl-substituted dihydroisoxazoles in high yields under mild reaction conditions.
