In this review article, we describe the application, reactivity and synthesis of isoxazole derivatives, more
specifically, the application, reactivity, and synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted, 3,4-disubstituted, and 3,4,5-trisubstituted
isoxazole using the green method. We review the application, of isoxazole in material science, agriculture and
pharmaceutical. In material science isoxazole is used as a photochromic, electrochemical probe for Cu2+ and, given its
optical properties, in dye sensitized solar cells, high energy material and liquid crystal. In agriculture isoxazole is used as
an insecticide for managing Callosobruchus chinensis, Acaricidal activity against T. cinnabarinus, and herbicidal
activities of 2-cyanoacrylates containing isoxazole. In pharmaceutical, isoxazole shows anticancer, antituberculosis, antiinflammatory, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Further, we describe various reactions of isoxazole such as ring opens,
bromination and iodination, thioynol ethers, intramolecular SEAr reaction, arylation, cycloaddition and
photocycloaddition, photoisomerization, Domino transformation of isoxazoles to 2,4-dicarbonyl pyrroles and
rearrangement. We also describe the synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted, 3,4-disubtituted and 3,4,5-trisubstituted isoxazole
using different methods.
