- Nitrile Oxide Cycloaddtion Routes to 2-(Isoxazolyl)benzoates and 2-(1,2,4-Oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoates
-
Cycloaddition of aromatic nitrile oxides to methyl o-vinylbenzoate produced methyl 2-(3-aryl-2-isoxazolin-5-yl)benzoates; the isoxazolines were converted to methyl 2-(3-arylisoxazol-5-yl)benzoates.Reaction of the nitrile oxide from o-methoxycarbonylbenzohydroximinoyl chloride (11) with phenylacetylene, styrenes, and aromatic nitriles resulted in methyl 2-(5-phenylisoxazol-3-yl)benzoate, methyl 2-(5-aryl-2-isoxazolin-3-yl)benzoates (15) and methyl 2-(5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)benzoates, respectively.The isoxazolines 15 were converted to the corresponding isoxazoles 16.

-
Certain 2-[5-(aryl or substituted aryl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl] benzoic acids, salts and esters having the formula: STR1 where R is hydrogen, lower alkyl and agriculturally acceptable cations and aryl is phenyl, naphthyl and phenyl substituted by one or more halogen, trifluoromethyl, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy moieties, (e.g., methyl 2-[5-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl] benzoate), in a method of controlling undesirable vegetation and a method of regulating the growth of desirable plants.
