vinylogous position of vinyl diazo compounds. This transformation, which is a formal
intermolecular [5+ 1] cycloaddition, occurs under mild conditions, with high functional group
tolerance and regioselectivity, and can be employed for late-stage functionalization. Upon
heating at refluxing chlorobenzene temperature, these triazine-N-oxides undergo dinitrogen
extrusion to form isoxazoles in very high yields.
