cycloaddition reaction was developed for the expedient synthesis of pharmacologically interesting 3-aryl substituted isoxazolines and isoxazoles through C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bond cleavage. Copper nitrate is employed as a reaction promoter and precursor of nitrile oxides. The given approach features a new mode of cycloaddition from olefinic azlactones, copper nitrate and unsaturated compounds

The kinetics of the 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions (DC) of benzonitrile oxide with a series of N-substituted maleimides in micellar media have been investigated. Surfactants studied include anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate, cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, and a series of nonionic alkyl poly(ethylene oxide) surfactants (CxEy). The kinetic data have been analyzed by using the pseudophase model for bimolecular reactions. Much larger micellar accelerations (up to a factor of 17) were observed for these reactions than was previously found for Diels-Alder (DA) reactions (J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 7369-7377). This is explained by the smaller solvent sensitivity of DC reactions, which causes the micellar rate constants to be much closer to the value of water (k(m)/k(w) approximate to 0.25-0.45 for DC reactions vs 0.02-0.05 for DA reactions). Further evidence is presented, that a water/1-propanol mixture ([H2O] ca. 15 M) is a fairly good mimic of the micellar reaction environment for these reactions. Isobaric activation parameters have been determined for the reaction in the micellar phase of C16E20, using micellar rate constants. They correspond well to values obtained for the aforementioned micelle mimic.
