Nitroimidazoles XIII. Synthesis of Substituted (1-Methyl-5-Nitro-2-Imidazolyl) Isoxazoles
Abstract
The beta0diketone derivatives of nitroimidazole were synthesized from the reaction of magnesium salt of beta-ketoaccids 3 with imidazolide 4. The raction of beta-diketones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded either the isoxazoles or the 5-hydroxyl-2-isoxazolines.
