Abstract

A highly chemoselective reaction between 5-aminoisoxazoles and α-diazocarbonyl compounds has been described. Both Wolff rearrangement and N-H insertion products can be obtained selectively by the judicious choice of reaction conditions. In the case of the Wolff rearrangement reactions, the N-isoxazole amides are accessed as the sole products under thermal conditions. On the other hand, α-amino acid derivatives of N-isoxazolescan be obtained through N-H insertion reactions in the presence of catalytic Rh 2 (Oct) 4 . Both reactions proceed under mild reaction conditions and feature a broad substrate scope.
