By reaction of substituted benzonitrile oxides with the enolate ion of acetaldehyde (quantitatively generated by the known cycloreversion of THF in the presence of n-butyllithium) a number of 3-aryl-4,5-dihydro-5-hydroxy-1,2-oxazoles (previously unknown or, in two cases, only synthesized by different procedures) have been isolated in high yields.Treatment of such hydroxy-isoxalines with some common bases allows their conversion in high yields into the corresponding isoxazoles.
