Abstract

An intramolecular cyclization of various α-acyl β-amino acrylamides in the presence of PIFA and TFA is described. This transformation features mild reaction conditions, simple execution, high chemo­selectivity, and metal catalyst-free oxidation, and thereby, provides not only an alternative protocol for the construction of N–O bond, but also an efficient and straightforward synthesis of substituted isoxazol-3(2H)-ones from readily available α-acyl acrylamides.
