The study reports the efficient synthesis of different functionalized isoindolin-1-ylidene derivatives through FeCl3/Li2CO3 mediated cleavage of isoxazole. The highlight of the work is the sequential reductive ring-opening of C3-(2-(phenylethynyl)phenyl)ortho-alkynyl-isoxazole and intramolecular 5-exo-dig cyclization of ortho-alkynyl-isoxazole. Additionally, we reported that Fe/NH4Cl could be used to generate 3-imino-1,3-dipheylpropenols from isooxazole. Using this protocol, densely substituted N-heterocyclic compounds can be assembled in simple and efficiently. This is the first report for the synthesis of isoindolin-1-ylidene derivatives using FeCl3/Li2CO3 using isoxazole as starting material
