Facile Baylis-Hillman Reaction of Substituted 3-Isoxazolecarbaldehydes: The Impact of a Proximal Heteroatom Within a Heterocycle on the Acceleration of the Reaction [1]

Abstract

The fast and facile Baylis-Hillman reaction in substituted 3-isoxazolecarbaldehydes confirms the impact of the proximal heteroatom within a heterocycle towards enhanced reactivity of the formyl group for this reaction.

Baylis-Hillman reaction - aldehydes - heterocycles - isoxazoles - alkenation
