Facile one-pot preparation of 5-aryltetrazoles and 3-arylisoxazoles from aryl bromides

The successive treatment of aryl bromides with n-BuLi, DMF, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and finally diphenylphosphoryl azide provided efficiently the corresponding 5-aryltetrazoles in good to moderate yields. Similarly, the successive treatment of aryl bromides with n-BuLi, DMF, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, and finally diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and Oxone^® provided efficiently the corresponding diethyl 3-arylisoxazole-4,5-dicarboxylates in good to moderate yields. Aromatic aldoximes are the key intermediates in both reactions, and 5-aryltetrazoles and 3-arylisoxazoles could be obtained from aryl bromides in one pot under transition-metal-free conditions.     

Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with furan derivatives

Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions of dialkyl 2-arylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylates with 2,5-dimethylfuran were found to give products of [3+2]-cycloaddition to C(2)-C(3) bond, which contain reactive vinyl ether moiety. These adducts can be further transformed into various products depending on the Lewis acid, the nucleophilicity of aryl group in starting cyclopropane and the ratio of reagents. The vinyl ether moiety can attack the appropriate nucleophilic center in intramolecular or intermolecular mode or can undergo cycloaddition to the second equivalent of donor-acceptor cyclopropane. Alternatively, 2,5-diphenylfuran formed Friedel-Crafts products only when reacted with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes.
