ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Aminomethylation of 3-Substituted 6-Hydroxy-1,2-benzisoxazoles

Oximes of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenones, 1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylethanones, and 1-(2,4-di-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenoxyethanones were dehydrated with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole, yielding 3-substi-tuted 6-hydroxy-1,2-benzisoxazoles, aminomethylation reactions of which were studied with various reagents.
