B. Prabhuswamy et Sy. Ambekar, Synthesis of 3a, 4-dihydro-8-substituted-3H-isoxazolo [c-4,3] thiapyrano [5,6-3,2] quinolines, SYN COMMUN, 29(20), 1999, pp. 3477-3485
Condensation of 2-chloro-3-formylquinoline 1a-c with allylthiol 2 afforded
2-allysulfanyl-3-formylquinolines 3a-c, Oximation followed by oxidation of
3a-c with NaOCl or chloramine-T, in cold or mercuric acetate resulted in th
e formation of respective nitrile oxides, which underwent insitu intramolec
ular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction and afforded the title compounds 5a
-c in high yield.
