Abstract
Gold(I)-catalyzed intramolecular hydroamination of O-propargyl-N-Boc-hydroxylamine is reported. The present method provides a novel, catalytic, and mild approach to 2,5-dihydroisoxazole derivatives. In addition, a mechanism of N-O cleavage as a side reaction as well as desired cyclization is proposed.
Key words
2,5-dihydroisoxazoles - heterocycles - cyclizations - gold catalysis - carbenoids

References and Notes
It is to be noted that the formed 2,5-dihydroisoxazole 2a was rather unstable and slowly decomposes into unidentified product upon keeping at r.t. for long period.

Representative Procedure for the Formation of 2d
To a solution of 1d (133 mg, 0.780 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was added Au(PPh3)Cl (1.9 mg, 3.9 µmol, 0.5 mol%) and AgOTf (1 mg, 3.9 µmol), and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at r.t. After removal of solvent, the residual oil was purified by silica gel flash chromatography to afford 2d as colorless oil (90.3 mg, 68%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 6.60 (t, J = 2.2, 4.7 Hz, 1 H), 5.30 (td, J = 1.8, 4.7 Hz, 1 H), 5.03 (t, J = 2.2 Hz, 1 H), 1.54 (s, 9 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 151.0, 125.8, 103.2, 82.1, 75.0, 28.1. LRMS (EI): for C8H13NO3 [M+]: m/z = 171; for C7H10NO3 [M+ - Me]: m/z = 156; for C7H13NO [M+ - CO2]: m/z = 127; for C3H5NO [M+ - t-BuOCO + H]: m/z = 71. Anal. Calcd for C8H13NO3: C, 56.13; H, 7.65; N, 8.18. Found: C, 56.16; H, 7.47; N, 8.14.
