This article reports in detail a method for the synthesis of 3-benzoxoxazoline by the reaction of alkenes (alkynes) and a variety of α-nitroketones in the presence of p-TsOH. The scope of alkenes is broad, including different alkenes and the alkyne. This reaction provides a convenient and efficient synthetic method of 3-benzoylisoxazolines.
Keywords: 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition; alkenes; alkynes; isoxazolines; p-TsOH; α-nitroketones.
