We describe herein a novel uninterrupted four-step sequence to access trisubstituted isoxazoles from readily available propargylic alcohols using sequentially iron and palladium catalytic systems. The advantages of such a strategy are illustrated by the high overall yields and the time-saving procedure that are reported.
Stereoselective and Catalytic Access to β-Enaminones: An Entry to Pyrimidines
We describe herein a highly stereoselective access to Cbz-protected β-enaminones 2 based on the NaOH catalyzed rearrangement of propargylichydroxylamines 1. The synthetic potential of these β-enaminones is illustrated in an original synthesis of pyrimidines.
