The parent compound was prepared by hydrogenolysis, and subsequent acid hydrolysis, of isoxazole derivatives. The isoxazole was prepared by a [3+2] 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between 3-butyn-2-ol and nitrile oxide. %K 3(2H)-furanone %K isoxazole %K natural products %K side-chain modifications %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/17/10/12151
