J Org Chem. 2021 Jun 4;86(11):7326-7332. doi: 10.1021/acs.joc.1c00091. Epub 2021 May 20.

Abstract

A novel solvent-free, TfOH-promoted decyanative cyclization approach for the synthesis of 2,1-benzisoxazoles has been developed. The reactions are complete instantly at room temperature and result in the formation of the desired 2,1-benzisoxazoles in a 34-97% isolated yield.
