A new method for the preparation of Δ2-isoxazolin-5-ones from the oximes of ketones having an α-hydrogen atom
Abstract
Certain oximes having an α-hydrogen atom were treated with n-butyl-lithium (2 mol.equiv.) to give the 1,4-dianions, which were carbonated and acid-cyclized to give the Δ2-isoxazolin-5-ones.
