Abstract

2,2′-Dipropionylazoxybenzenes undergo rearrangement to the corresponding 3-[1-alkoxy-1-(2-propionylarylamino)ethyl]benzo[c]isoxazoles in the case of base catalysis; this transformation is realized only in the case of ortho,ortho' orientation of the propionyl groups in the substrate molecule and with the participation of the solvent as a reagent. A mechanism for the rearrangement that assumed the participation of one of the propionyl groups in intramolecular reduction of the azoxy group to an azo group is proposed.
