Environmentally benign synthesis, molecular properties prediction and anti-inflammatory activity of novel isoxazolo[5,4-d]isoxazol-3-yl-aryl-methanones via vinylogous Henry nitroaldol adducts as synthons

Synthesis of novel 6-methylisoxazolo[5,4-d]isoxazol-3-yl-aryl-methanones 5 has been achieved via nitro-nitrite rearrangement by utilizing vinylogous nitroaldol adducts as synthons under mild conditions. Furthermore, the new series of compounds 5a–i were assessed for molecular properties prediction, drug-likeness by Molinspiration (Molinspiration, 2008) & MolSoft (MolSoft, 2007) softwares, lipophilicity and solubility parameters using ALOGPS 2.1 program. The new series of compounds 5a–i were screened for their anti-inflammatory activity.
