• pyrroles/indoles 4/9 allowing access to 2,3-dihydroisoxazoles 77/78 bearing an all-substituted stereocenter at the C3 position. A dual catalytic activity of the Brønsted acid catalyst was illustrated by the authors which was initiated with a smooth protonation of the OH group in 76 with a subsequnte

• methodology based on the trans-stereoselective epoxidation reaction of 2,3-dihydroisoxazoles followed by the regioselective hydrolysis of the corresponding isoxazolidinyl epoxide [15][16]. Very recently, we have reported the synthesis of γ-(hydroxyamino)-α,β-diols by the addition of Grignard reagents to

• isoxazolidin-4-ols. The strategy relies on a highly regio- and trans-stereoselective hydroboration–oxidation reaction of the 4,5-unsubstituted 2,3-dihydroisoxazoles with basic hydrogen peroxide. The consecutive oxidation/reduction route, sequentially employing Dess–Martin periodinane and ʟ-selectride, is used

• -unsubstituted 2,3-dihydroisoxazoles in moderate to very good yields, starting from readily available 5-acetoxy- and 5-hydroxyisoxazolidines [7][8]. Their reactivity in electrophilic addition reactions allows for a straightforward introduction of a hydroxy group at the C-4 position of the resulting
