Abstract

A convenient method for the preparation of 5-hydroxy-5-trihalo-4,5-dihydroisoxazoles and beta-enamino trihalomethyl ketones, from the reaction of 1,1,1-trihalo-4-alkoxy-3-alken-2-ones with hydroxylamine and anilines, respectively, using water as solvent and under ultrasound irradiation is reported.
