The reaction of nitrile imines greated in situ from the arylhydrazones in the presence of chloramine-T with isoxazolyl maleimides 2 results isoxazolyl pyrrolo [3,4-i/]-7.8-dihydro pyrazoles 3. The dienophile 2, anthracene and anhydrous aluminium chloride in dichloromethane at room temperature yielded, Diels-Alder adducts i.e., 9-10-dihydro-anthranene-9,1O-e/fc/o-ZV-isoxazolyl maliemides 4. All the new products have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 'H NMR and mass spectra data.
