• -1,4-diketones after hydrolysis of the primary photochemical products (photo aldol reaction) [7], whilst the reaction of oxazoles with carbonyl compounds is a convenient protocol for the stereoselective synthesis of α-amino β-hydroxy ketones [8][9] as well as highly substituted α-amino β-hydroxy acids

• reagent on the liberated benzaldehyde. Conclusion The photocycloaddition of electronically excited carbonyl compounds to isoxazoles is clearly less effective than with other five-membered aromatic or non-aromatic heterocycles (furans, thiophenes, pyrroles, oxazoles, dihydrofurans, dihydropyrroles) [1

• . As expected, oxazoles, thiazoles, pyrazoles, and pyridines are tolerated in this chemistry. In a limited number of cases, functionality (e.g. basic amines, benzimidazoles, indoles, etc.) caused no reaction to occur and only recovered starting materials were isolated (data not shown). We then shifted
