Abstract

[reaction: see text]. A parallel array of isoxazoline diamides was prepared using an ionic liquid [bmim][BF4] as the phase where a three-step procedure (Schotten-Baumann, 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, ester amidation with Me3Al) was carried out. At the end, selective extraction of the final products with diethyl ether allowed simple isolation of the 16 components of the array (Syncore technology).
