Resumo

A robust and metal-free methodology for the aza-Michael reaction between isoxazol-5-ones and enones is presented, allowing the preparation of a broad reaction scope in moderate to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. Notably, the isoxazol-5-ones (Michael donor) reacted selectively at the nitrogen (no attack at the C4 position was observed). In this study, two accessible Bronsted acids (hydrochloric acid and p-sulfonic acid calix[4]arene) were investigated as catalysts for this transformation. The use of catalytic hydrochloric acid led to the desired derivatives in slightly better yields when dibenzylideneacetones were employed as Michael acceptors. In contrast, better yields were attained for the p-sulfonic acid calix[4]arene when chalcones were used as Michael acceptors, also allowing catalyst recovery and reuse for consecutive cycles without significant loss of performance. The reaction mechanism was investigated through theoretical calculations and control experiments, which revealed that the reaction kinetics favor the isoxazol-5-one attack at the nitrogen (instead of the carbon at the 4-position), explaining the regioselectivity of this transformation. A scale-up experiment was also carried out with no loss in the entire reactivity. (AU)
