Description
The reductive cleavage of 5-phenyl-isoxazoline-3-carboxylic acid with zinc in acetic anhydride to give 4-phenyl-2-acetamido-butyrolactone is described. Oxidative fragmentation of t-butyl-5-phenyl-isoxazoline-3-peroxycarboxyalate parallels the mass spectral fragmentation to give benzaldehyde and 3-hydroxy-3-phenylproprionitrile.
