Synthesis of dihydrobenzisoxazoles by the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of arynes and oxaziridines.

ABSTRACT: Dihydrobenzisoxazoles are readily prepared in good yields by the [3 + 2] cycloaddition of oxaziridines and arynes. The reaction involves an unusual cleavage of the C-O bond of the oxaziridine and tolerates a variety of substituents on the oxaziridine and the o-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflate to form aryl-, heteroaryl-, alkyl-, and naphthyl-substituted dihydrobenzisoxazoles. The resulting halogen-substituted dihydrobenzisoxazoles are readily elaborated to more complex products using palladium-catalyzed crossing-coupling processes.
