Alkylidenepyrrolidines 1, 21, 24 and 26 undergo reactions with nitrile oxides and nitrilimines or their precursors to give a range of novel heterocyclic compounds. With alkylidenepyrrolidine ester 1, nitrolic acids give products in which the liberated nitrous acid reacts with the alkylidenepyrrolidine, followed by two cycloadditions to give adducts 3. In contrast, hydroximoyl chlorides give iso...

Highly functionalized 5-trifluoromethyl-2-isoxazoline derivatives featuring a triflyl (SO2CF3) group at the 4-position were successfully synthesized via diastereoselective trifluoromethylation and halogenation of isoxazole triflones using the Ruppert- Prakash reagent. The trifluoromethylation is quite general in terms of the substrates including 3,5-diaryl isoxazole triflones and 3-aryl-5-styry...

A new series of isoxazoles and triazoles linked 2-phenyl benzothiazole were synthesized and evaluated for their anticancer activity. These compounds have been tested for their cytotoxicity three cancer cell lines. Among the compounds tested, compound 5d showed good cytotoxicity against Colo-205 and A549 cells in comparison to standard control PMX 610(1). Further compound 5d has been tested for ...

The title compound, C(12)H(12)N(2)O(2), has been synthesized by the reaction of 5-amino-3,4-dimethyl-isoxazole and salicyladehyde. The mol-ecule adopts an E configuration about the central C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the isoxazole and phenyl rings is 4.2 (2)° and an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin wi...

The title compound, C(16)H(19)NO(2), contains two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Each mol-ecule is composed of three inter-connected rings, two essentially planar rings, viz. the isoxazole and the methyl-benzyl aromatic ring [maximum deviations of 0.0027 (13) and 0.0031 (19) Å from the isoxazole and methylbenzyl ring planes, respectively, in the first molecule, 0.0018 (12) and 0.019 (2) Å i...

A series of 5-arylisoxazole derivatives were synthesized via the reaction of 3-(dimethyl-amino)-1-arylprop-2-en-1-ones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in aqueous media without using any catalyst. This method has the advantages of easier work-up, mild reaction conditions, high yields, and an environmentally benign procedure.

In the title compound, C(17)H(11)BrN(2)O(2), the five-membered isoxazole ring has an envelope conformation with the C atom bearing the phenyl ring as the flap. The pyran ring has a half-chair conformation. In the chromeno ring system, the dihedral angle between the mean plane of the pyran ring and the benzene ring is 4.68 (2)°. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the chromeno ring sys...

In the title compound, C(23)H(17)NO(3)S, the thio-phene and isoxazole rings each have an envelope conformation with the spiro C atom linking them forming the flap of the envelope in each case. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzothio-phene ring and isoxazole rings is 81.35 (7)°. In the crystal, an inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond links the mol-ecules into a chain running p...

An unprecedented stereoselective organocatalytic one-pot 1,4-/1,6-/1,2-addition sequence between β-dicarbonyl compounds, β-nitroalkenes and 4-nitro-5-styrylisoxazoles sequentially catalyzed by low loading of a squaramide catalyst and an achiral base has been developed. The protocol opens an efficient entry to isoxazole bearing cyclohexanes with six consecutive stereogenic centers including one ...
