An Effective Synthesis of a (Pyridin-3-yl)isoxazole via 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Using ZnCl2: Synthesis of a (2-Aminopyridin-3-yl)isoxazole Derivative and Its Antifungal Activity

Abstract We described a rare example of an effective isoxazole synthesis via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition using ZnCl2, which allowed us to synthesize novel (2-aminopyridin-3-yl)isoxazole derivatives effectively. In addition, these compounds demonstrated potent antifungal activity in vitro against both Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus.
