Rcf. Jones et al., AN ISOXAZOLE ROUTE TO UNSATURATED ALPHA-ALKOXYCARBONYL-BETA-DIKETONES, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (15), 1993, pp. 1715-1716
Cycloaddition of diethylphosphonomethyl nitrile oxide to the enamine f
rom ethyl acetoacetate produces onyl-3-diethoxyphosphonylmethyl-5-meth
ylisoxazole; condensation of the phosphonate with aldehydes and ketone
s gives 3-alkenylisoxazoles that are cleaved by hexacarbonylmolybdenum
to afford unsaturated alpha-alkoxycarbonyl-beta-diketones.
