Map. Martins et al., A convenient one-pot synthesis of 5-carboxyisoxazoles: trichloromethyl group as a carboxyl group precursor, TETRAHEDR L, 41(3), 2000, pp. 293-297
The one-pot synthesis of ten 5-carboxyisoxazoles from the cyclocondensation
of beta-alkoxyvinyl trichloromethyl ketones [CCl3C(O)C(R-2)=C(R-1)OR, wher
e R-1, R-2=H, Me and R=Me, Et] and 2-trichloroacetyl cyclohexanone with hyd
roxylamine is reported. This work shows that the trichloromethyl group atta
ched to beta-alkoxyvinyl trichloromethyl ketones (a heterocyclic CCC buildi
ng block) is an excellent carboxyl group precursor. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scien
