“…The known methods for the construction of the 5‐aminoisoxazole system can be categorized into three general strategies, that is, intramolecular cyclizations [e.g., base‐promoted cyclizations of β‐nitronitriles 1 or the recyclization of cyclopropanes 2 by treatment with PCl 5 or Tf 2 O (Tf = trifluoromethanesulfonyl), Scheme , pathway A ], [4+1] approaches (e.g., reactions of α‐halogenoximes with isonitriles, Scheme , pathway B ;, reactions of 2‐nitro‐1,3‐diarylprop‐2‐en‐1‐ones 3 or N , N ‐bis(silyloxy)enamines 4 with a cyanide source, Scheme , pathway C ; and reactions of ynamides with an azide, Scheme , pathway D ), and [3+2] approaches (Scheme , pathways E and F ). The latter strategy is by far the most widely used and includes the reactions of α‐ketonitriles, malononitriles,, or α,β‐unsaturated nitriles that have a leaving group at the β‐position with NH 2 OH (CCC + NO, Scheme , pathway E ) as well as reactions of halogenoximes with N ‐protected ynamides, or active methylene nitriles (CC + CNO, Scheme , pathway F ) …”
