Good yields were obtained with arylacetonitriles containing the electron-neutral or electron-donor group, while those with the electron-acceptor group were found to be unreactive. Reductions of the benzisoxazoles gave ortho-aminobenzophenones in high yields. Their synthetic utility was demonstrated by condensation reactions with carbonyl compounds or amines to provide SF5-containing quinolines and quinazolines, respectively. %K benzisoxazoles %K pentafluorosulfanyl group %K quinazolines %K quinolines %K sulfurpentafluorides %U http://dx.doi.org/10.3762/bjoc.9.43
