The preparation of 5-substituted and 4,5-disubstituted 2,1-benzisoxazoles

Abstract

A series of 5-substituted-2,1-benzisoxazoles has been prepared by the reduction and subsequent cyclization of 5-substituted-2-nitrobenzaldehydes. Reactions of 5-piperidino-2,1-benzisoxazole with nitrous acid and of 5-hydroxy-, 5-N,N-dimethylamino- or 5-pyrrolidino-2,1-benzisoxazole with phenyldiazonium ion led to four 4,5-disubstituted-2,1-benzisoxazoles.
