“…Isoxazoles are potent analgesic, anti-inflammatory [16], antimicrobial [17], COX-2 inhibitory [18], antitubercular [19], anticonvulsant [20], and anticancer agents [21]. In continuation of our studies on the synthesis of biologically important heterocyclic compounds [22][23][24][25][26], in the present work we have designed the synthesis of a novel tetrahydropyridine derivatives incorporated with isoxazole moiety utilizing an eco-friendly, reusable and inexpensive ionic liquid as solvent as well as a catalyst.…”
