Significance
A variety of isoxazoles have been synthesized in high yields via an electrophilic cyclization reaction. The iodine handle that is installed as part of the electrocylization is used in a subsequent Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction that yields the highly potent COX-2 inhibitor valdecoxib in 74% yield.
