CuBr 2 -promoted intramolecular bromocyclization of N-allylamides and aryl allyl ketone oximes

Continuous Flow Electroselenocyclization of Allylamides and Unsaturated Oximes to Selenofunctionalized Oxazolines and Isoxazolines

The synthesis of selenofunctionalized oxazolines and isoxazolines from N-allyl benzamides and unsaturated oximes with diselenides was studied by utilizing a continuous flow electrochemical approach. At mild reaction conditions and short reaction times of 10 min product yields of up to 90% were achieved including a scale-up reaction. A broad substrate scope was studied and the reaction was shown to have a wide functional group tolerance.

General 5-Halomethyl Isoxazoline Synthesis Enabled by Copper-Catalyzed Oxyhalogenation of Alkenes

A general and efficient oxyhalogenation of unsaturated ketoximes has been achieved through copper catalysis with diethyl bromomalonate, N-chlorosuccinimide, and N-iodosuccinimide, yielding 5-chloromethyl, 5-bromomethyl, and 5-iodomethyl isoxazolines in good to excellent yields.
