Abstract
O-Unsaturated alkoxyamines are versatile compounds that can be cyclized to heterocyclic 5-membered rings by using onium ions, transition metals, Brønsted and Lewis acids. O-Allylic and O-homoallylic alkoxyamines can be transformed to isoxazolidines, O-allenyl alkoxyamines to isoxazolidines as well as to 2-isoxazolines and O-alkynyl alkoxyamines to 2- or 3-isoxazolines as well as to isoxazoles.
Keywords: Alkoxyamine, hydroxylamine, isoxazolidine, isoxazoline, isoxazole, cyclization, synthesis, review.
