HomeReactions of Benzisoxazoles
While the parent compound, benzothiazole, is not extensively utilized, numerous of its derivatives can be found in commercial products or occur naturally.
Benzisoxazole reacts with light giving an isomerization reaction. For example, benzisoxazole reacts when irradiating in acetic acid to give a mixture of benzoxazole and 2-cyanophenol.
3-Methylbenzisoxazole react in methanol to give 2-methylbenzoxazole in high yields.
3-Methylbenzisoxazole react in wet hexane to give the amide.
