C. Bahamondes et al., METALATION OF 3-PHENYL-2-ISOXAZOLIN-5-ONE - REACTION WITH SOME ELECTROPHILES, Boletin de la Sociedad Chilena de Quimica, 39(4), 1994, pp. 273-278
The deprotonation of 3-phenyl-2-isoxazolin-5-one 1 with n-butyllithium
or lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) at 0 degrees C, followed by the rea
ction with alkyl iodides or ethyl chloroformiate results in the format
ion of N-substituted-3-phenyl-3-isoxazolin-5-one. With acyl chlorides,
N-substituted, 4-substituted and 5-0-substituted derivatives of 1 are
formed, and similar results are observed with phenyl and butyl chloro
formiates.
