Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of Isoxazole 14 Using 4 Å MS: To a solution of 2-bromo-6-methoxybenzonitrile oxide (12; 214 mg, 0.937 mmol) and benzoylacetonitrile (4; 161 mg, 1.11 mmol) in i-PrOH (3.1 mL) was added 4 Å MS (938 mg) at r.t. The red suspension was heated at 50 °C for 2 h. After cooling, the mixture was filtered through a Celite® pad, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-EtOAc, 85:15) to give 14 (253 mg, 76%) as a yellow solid. Recrystallization of 14 from acetone-hexane gave a colorless prism; mp 177.2-177.6 °C. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 3.85 (s, 3 H), 7.00 (dd, J = 2.0, 7.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.33 (dd, J = 2.0, 7.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.37 (dd, J = 7.6, 7.6 Hz, 1 H), 7.55-7.64 (m, 3 H), 8.12-8.19 (m, 2 H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 56.1, 90.0, 110.2, 111.8, 116.3, 124.1, 124.9, 125.1, 126.7, 129.3, 132.5, 132.8, 158.8, 160.4, 173.8.

-PrONa: To a mixture of 2-bromo-6-methoxybenzonitrile oxide (12; 199 mg, 0.872 mmol) and methanesulfonylacetone (6; 142 mg, 1.05 mmol) in i-PrOH (8.7 mL) at r.t. was added i-PrONa (0.3 M in i-PrOH, 0.43 mL, 0.13 mmol). After stirring at 40 °Cfor 1 h, the reaction was stopped at r.t. by adding H2O. After the products were extracted with EtOAc (3 ×), the combined organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-EtOAc, 4:1) to give 16 (252 mg, 83%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 2.80 (s, 3 H), 2.96 (s, 3 H), 3.79 (s, 3 H), 6.96 (dd, J = 1.2, 8.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.28 (dd, J = 1.2, 8.1 Hz, 1 H), 7.35 (dd, J = 8.1, 8.1 Hz, 1 H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 12.8, 44.8, 56.1, 110.1, 117.5, 117.6, 124.3, 124.7, 132.5, 157.5, 159.1, 174.4.
