Synthesis of some pyrazolo[1,5‐c][1,3]benzoxazines and a new 5H‐pyrazolo[1,5‐c][1,3,2]benzoxazaphosphorine ring system

Condensations of 5‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)pyrazoline 3a with 4‐carboxybenzaldehyde, glyoxylic acid and N,N‐carbonyldiimidazole leading to pyrazolobenzoxazine derivatives were studied. The observed diastere‐oselectivity is discussed. Reaction of 3a with Lawesson reagent gave rise to a new 5H‐pyrazolo[1,5‐c]‐[1,3,2]benzoxazaphosphorine heterocyclic system.
