Published: March 2023

The three-component reactions of enaminones, α-diazo esters/ketones, and -butyl nitrite (TBN) for the switchable synthesis of isomeric isoxazoles have been realized. The catalysis with Cu(II) salt provides 3,4-disubsituted isoxazoles via [3 + 2] cycloaddition. On the other hand, the catalysis of Ag(I) with identical substrates leads to isomeric isoxazoles with reversed C3 and C4 substitution based on a key [2 + 1] cycloaddition.

Methods for the preparation of 3-aryl-2-azirine-2,2-dicarboxylic acids and their amides, esters, and azides by FeCl-catalyzed isomerization of 3-aryl-5-chloroisoxazole-4-carbonyl chlorides into 3-aryl-2-azirine-2,2-dicarbonyl dichlorides followed by their reaction with nucleophiles are reported. Two approaches to the preparation of 3-aryl-5-chloroisoxazole-4-carbonyl chlorides have been developed.

ConspectusThe study of gas-phase chemical reactions at very low temperatures first became possible with the development and implementation of the CRESU (French acronym for Reaction Kinetics in Uniform Supersonic Flows) technique. CRESU relies on a uniform supersonic flow produced by expansion of a gas through a Laval (convergent-divergent) nozzle to produce a wall-less reactor at temperatures from 10 to 200 K and densities of 10-10 cm for the study of low temperature kinetics, with particular application to astrochemistry. In recent years, we have combined uniform flows with revolutionary advances in broadband rotational spectroscopy to yield an instrument that affords near-universal detection for novel applications in photodissociation, reaction dynamics, and kinetics.

Naphtho[1,8-][1,2]oxazin-4-ol and its acyl or benzyl derivatives ring open to various 2,8-dihydroxy-1-naphthonitriles, which, through (de)protection protocols and reduction, afford the target ()-2-hydroxy-8-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde. This was converted to its corresponding oxime, which was oxidatively -cyclized with phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) to 9-methoxynaphtho[1,2-]isoxazole 2-oxide. The latter, in deuterated DMSO at room temperature, was rearranged to its isomer 2-hydroxy-8-methoxy(naphthalen-1-yl)nitrile oxide.

Gold catalysis is an important method for alkyne functionalization. Here we report the gold-catalyzed formal [3+2] aminative cyclization of yndiamides and isoxazoles in a direct synthesis of polysubstituted diaminopyrroles, which are important motifs in drug discovery. Key to this process is the formation, and subsequent cyclization, of an α-imino gold Fischer carbene, which represents a new type of gold carbene intermediate.

4-(1-Aminoallylidene)isoxazol-5-ones were synthesized in good yields by the [2 + 2]cycloaddition-retro-electrocyclization reaction of 4-methylideneisoxazol-5(4)-ones with ynamines. The reaction mechanism and the absence of hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadducts were investigated by DFT calculations. 4-(1-Aminoallylidene)isoxazol-5-ones were found to be convenient substrates for the preparation of 4-aminopyridines under thermal metal-free conditions.
