Abstract
A series of 4-hydroxyl-Delta(2)-isoxazol-6(6aH)-one derivatives was prepared by magnesium ion-mediated diastereoface-selective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of aromatic nitrile oxides with pyrrolidinone derivatives. The reaction of 4-hydroxyl-D 2 -isoxazol-6(6aH)-one derivatives with dimethylsulfoxide and oxalyl chloride under Swern conditions led to a Delta(2)-isoxazole-4,6(5H, 6aH)-dione.
