References and Notes
Typical Procedure for Isoxazole Synthesis Using CAN(IV).Method A, Neat Solvent.
A mixture of acetylenic glycosides (0.5 mmol), ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate (0.5 mmol), and 4 Å MS in acetone (0.1 M) was stirred at reflux under nitrogen during 16-66 h (Table
[2]
). The mixture was poured into a solution of aq NaHCO3 (2.0 mL) and filtered over a Celite® pad. The filtrate was washed with brine (2 × 2.0 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was then washed with brine (2 × 2.0 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Pure isoxazoles were isolated as clear oil by column chromatography using a mixture of EtOAc and hexane.
Method B, Ketones in MeCN.
A mixture of acetylenic glycosides (0.0695 g, 0.2 mmol), ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate (0.348 g, 0.6 mmol), the appropriate ketone (2.0 mmol), and 4 Å MS in MeCN (3.5 mL) was stirred at reflux under nitrogen during 16-66 h. The mixture was poored into a solution of aq NaHCO3 (2.0 mL) and filtered over a Celite® pad. The filtrate was washed with brine (2 × 2.0 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was then washed with brine (2 × 2.0 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Pure isoxazoles were isolated as clear oil by column chromatography using a mixture of EtOAc and hexane.
