Synthesis and biological evaluation of isoxazoline derivatives as potent M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor agonists

Ultrasound Assisted One-Pot Synthesis of Novel 3-(Aryl)-5-((4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenoxy)methyl)isoxazolines in Water

In this work, we present an efficient one-pot method for the synthesis of three new azo-isoxazoline derivatives (4a–c) from aromatic aldehydes, hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 4-(allyloxy)azobenzene. Thus, the azo-isoxazoline derivatives (4a–c) were synthesized via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using sodium dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC) as an eco-friendly and inexpensive oxidizing agent under ultrasound cavitation in water as a green solvent. The desired compounds 4a–c were obtained in high to excellent yields of 75–90%.

2-((3-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl)methyl)benzo[d]isothiazol-3(2H)-one1,1-dioxide

In this work, a novel compound N-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)isoxazolin-5-yl)methylsaccharin has been synthesized. The molecular structure of the compound was determined using various spectroscopic techniques and confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the single crystal, C–H…O hydrogen bonds between neighboring molecules form chains along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H…H (35.7%), H…O/O…H (33.7%), and H…C/C…H (13%) interactions. The optimized structure calculated using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined structure in the solid state. The calculated highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap is 4.9266 eV.

Ultrasound-assisted one-pot green synthesis of new N- substituted-5-arylidene-thiazolidine-2,4-dione-isoxazoline derivatives using NaCl/Oxone/Na3PO4 in aqueous media

A rapid and green method for the synthesis of novel N-thiazolidine-2,4-dione isoxazoline derivatives 5 from N-allyl-5-arylidenethiazolidine-2,4-diones 3 as dipolarophiles with arylnitrile oxides via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction. The corresponding N-allyl substituted dipolarophiles were prepared by one-pot method from thiazolidine-2,4-dione with aldehydes using Knoevenagel condensation followed by N-allylation of thiazolidine-2,4-dione in NaOH aqueous solution under sonication. In addition, the isoxazoline derivatives 5 were synthesized by regioselective and chemoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using inexpensive and mild NaCl/Oxone/Na₃PO₄ as a Cl source, oxidant and/or catalyst under ultrasonic irradiation in EtOH/H₂O (v/v, 2:1) as green solvent. All synthesized products are furnished in good yields in the short reaction time, and then their structures were confirmed by NMR, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography analysis.

The synthetic and therapeutic expedition of isoxazole and its analogs

Isoxazole, constituting an important family of five-membered heterocycles with one oxygen atom and one nitrogen atom at adjacent positions is of immense importance because of its wide spectrum of biological activities and therapeutic potential. It is, therefore, of prime importance that the development of new synthetic strategies and designing of new isoxazole derivatives should be based on the most recent knowledge emerging from the latest research. This review is an endeavor to highlight the progress in the chemistry and biological activity of isoxazole derivatives which could provide a low-height flying bird's eye view of isoxazole derivatives to the medicinal chemists for the development of clinically viable drugs using this information.
