Abstract

Title: Traceless solid-phase synthesis of 3-substituted isoxazoles and 3-substituted 5-iodoisoxazolines using polystyrene-supported vinyl selenide. Authors: Sheng, S.-R.;* Xin, Q.; Liu, X.-L.; Sun, W.-K.; Guo, R.; Huang, X. Jiangxi Normal University, China Source: Synthesis 2006, 2293 – 2296. Significance: Vinylselenide resin underwent cycloaddition with nitrile oxides to give isoxazolines. Resin cleavage was achieved either under oxidative or alkylative conditions to give the oxazoline and iodo-isoxazoline respectively.
