“…The method reported here allows us to obtain isoxazoles under mild conditions by reacting b-diketohydrazones with hydroxylammonium chloride. In this work, we present an extensive report on the synthesis and characterization of a new series of 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazoles using 3-(2-(4-R-phenyl)hydrazinylidene)pentane-2,4-diones [23][24][25][26][27] as precursors, where R = 4-N(CH 3 ) 2 (1), 4-OH(2), 4-CH 3 (3), 4-OCH 3 (4), 4-H(5), 4-Cl(6), 4-Br (7), 4-CO 2 H(8), 4-CO 2 CH 2 CH 3 (9), 4-COCH 3 (10), 4-CN (11), 4-NO 2 (12), 4-CH 2 CO 2 -CH 2 CH 3 (13), , 2-OH (15), 2-Cl( 16), 2-NO 2 (17), 2-CO 2 H (18). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were also obtained for two of the studied compounds, (7) and (17).…”
