(3-Methyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-5H-4,7-methanoisoxazolo[4,5-d][1,2]oxazin-5-yl)(phenyl)methanone

The title compound, C14H14N2O3, is the exo isomer with a syn arrangement of two O atoms in the isoxazole and oxazine rings. The dihedral angle between the isoxazole and phenyl rings is 60.38 (4)°. In the crystal, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional network. The isoxazole O atom is an acceptor for three of these hydrogen bonds

1-(3-Hydroxy-5,8-dimethoxy-4-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,4-epoxynaphthalen-2-yl)ethan-1-one

The stereochemistry and regioschemistry (exo) of the title compound, C15H18O5, were determined by the X-ray analysis. The methoxy groups essentially lie in the plane of the benzene ring to which they are attached, as described by the C—O—C...;C torsion angles of −176.80 (12) and 4.67 (19)°. In the crystal, O—H...O hydrogen bonds and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming chains of R21(8) rings along [010]

5,8-Dimethoxy-3,9-dimethyl-3a,4,9,9a-tetrahydro-4,9-epoxynaphtho[2,3-d]isoxazole

The title compound, C15H17NO4, is the exo isomer with a syn arrangement of the O atom in the isoxazole ring to the methyl group of the bicyclic alkene. The dihedral angle between the isoxazole ring and the benzene ring is 7.42 (9)°. In the crystal, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules, forming a three-dimensional network. The isoxazole O atom is an acceptor for both weak hydrogen bonds

N–O Cleavage reactions of heterobicycloalkene-fused 2-isoxazolines

Transition metal-mediated N–O bond cleavage reactions of heterobicycloalkene-fused 3-methyl-2-isoxazolines were investigated. Optimal cleavage conditions were found with Raney nickel/AlCl3 mediation in aqueous methanol. The reaction provided a diverse collection of novel heterobicycle-fused β-hydroxyketones with good to excellent yields (66–95%) and without the need for chromatographic purification
