Synthesis of 2,1-benzisoxazoles (microreview)

 This microreview summarizes data published over the past 10 years devoted to the synthesis of substituted 2,1-benzisoxazoles. The major synthetic approaches aim at increasing either the electrophilicity or nucleophilicity of ortho substituents or other substrates. Ortho-substituted aryl azides, anilines, nitroso- and nitrobenzenes were used as starting compounds.
