Abstract
The Mitsunobu reaction has become one of the most powerful tools to alkylate acidic pronucleophiles. A significant caveat of Mitsunobu chemistry, however, is that the reaction mixture is often plagued with purification problems owing to the phosphine oxide and hydrazine dicarboxylate by-products. In addition to the development of more readily separable Mitsunobu reagents, the product’s physicochemical properties may be exploited to facilitate purification. In this regard, we present a swift and efficient preparation of 3-hydroxybenzisoxazoles by the Mitsunobu-triggered heterocyclizations of salicylhydroxamic acids, which can be isolated by an acid–base work-up. As expected, a range of functional groups was compatible with the chemistry.
