Abstract:
A new method for the synthesis of 3-aryl-5-fluoroisoxazoles via the reaction of nitrosonium chlorosulfate with 2-aryl-1-bromo-1-fluorocyclopropanes containing acceptor substituents in the aromatic ring has been developed. The reaction proceeds highly regioselectively thus providing 3-aryl-5-fluoroisoxazoles in good yields. The structure of isoxazoles was corroborated by the DU8+ hybrid DFT/parametric computational approach.
