Synthetic Approaches to Nitro-Substituted Isoxazoles

Abstract

Nitro-substituted isoxazoles are of utmost interest both as versatile intermediates for targeted organic synthesis and as perspective bioactive compounds for drug development. Nevertheless, the existing approaches to them usually lack generality and strongly depend on the position of the nitro group and on the presence of other substituents in the isoxazole ring. This review provides the first systematization of all available data concerning synthetic approaches to 3-, 4-, and 5-nitroisoxazoles. There are a number of preparative approaches to 4-nitroisoxazoles based on classical heterocyclization reactions of nitro-substituted compounds and the nitration of isoxazoles. 3-Nitro- and, especially, 5-nitroisoxazoles are much less readily available. A few methods affording 3-nitroisoxazoles have been reported, often employing the heterocyclization of unsaturated compounds by treatment with sodium nitrite. The sole general preparative method for 5-nitroisoxazoles, containing a variety of functional groups, employs the heterocyclization of electrophilic alkenes by treatment with tetranitromethane activated with triethylamine.
