R. Alguacil et al., HYLSULFONYL-3-PHENYLFURO[3,4-D]ISOXAZOLE-4(6H)-ONE - A USEFUL SYNTHONFOR PREPARATION OF HETEROANTHRACYCLINONE ANALOGS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(37), 1995, pp. 6773-6776
The synthon 6 was prepared from 4,5-diethylsulfonylfuran-2(5H)one (4)
by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of benzonitrile oxide. Annelation of diff
erently functionalized quinone monoketals with the anion of the isoxaz
ole 6 affords a range of heteroanthracyclinone analogues.
