Theoretical and Experimental Insights into the Tandem Mannich—Electrophilic Amination Reaction: Synthesis of Safirinium Dyes

Isoxazolo[3,4-<i>b</i>]pyridin-3(1<i>H</i>)-ones are ‘spring-loaded’ compounds that quantitatively react with iminium salts derived from formaldehyde and secondary amines to yield fluorescent Safirinium dyes. The mechanism and energetics of the above tandem Mannich–electrophi...
