Rearrangements in reactions of diphenylcyclopropenone with isoxazoles
Abstract
Diphenylcyclopropenone and isoxazoles, on heating, give 4-pyridones by a reaction which involves loss of the isoxazole 5-substituent in 4,5-disubstituted isoxazoles and its retention, as a 3-acyl substituent of the pyridone, in the 4-unsubstituted isoxazole case.
