Abstract

(equation presented) A novel cyclization reaction of propargylic N-hydroxylamines to 2,3,5-trisubstituted 2,3-dihydroisoxazoles in the presence of catalytic amounts (10 mol %) of ZnI2 and DMAP is reported. The methodology provides a mild new approach to this useful class of substituted heterocycles that complements extant methods. The unique reactivity of the propargylic N-hydroxylamine substrates in the presence of Zn(II) and DMAP may have additional applications in other, related alkyne cyclization reactions.
