5-Substituted 3-(diethoxyphosphoryl)isoxazoles and -2-isoxazolines
were synthesized regioselectively by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of
(diethoxyphosphoryl)formonitrile oxide to monosubstituted alkynes
and alkenes. By applying this methodology to an N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-substituted allylglycine
methyl ester, we prepared the precursors of two diastereomeric 3-phosphono-2-isoxazolin-5-yl-substituted
amino acids, which are bioisosteres of potent NMDA receptor antagonists.
