A highly regioselective synthesis of 3-arylamino- and 5-arylaminoisoxazoles from enaminones based on reaction condition selection is reported. 3-Arylaminoisoxazoles were produced by treating enaminones with aqueous hydroxylamine in DMF at 100 °C, whereas 5-arylaminoisoxazoles were synthesized by subjecting enaminones to aqueous hydroxylamine in the presence of KOH and TBAB in water under reflux. A mechanism for the regioselective synthesis of 3-arylamino- and 5-arylaminoisoxazoles is proposed.
