Fourier Transform infrared spectra (paraffin oil mulls) were obtained with a Nicolet Impact 410 FT-IR. b. 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra were obtained with a Varian Associates Mercury Oxford 300 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, and chemical shifts are recorded in δ ppm downfield from an internal tetramethylsilane (TMS) standard. c. A DEPT spectrum was taken on several representative samples to determine the chemical shift of the methylene carbon (C-4) of the isoxazoline ring. d. The assignment is consistent with the chemical shifts noted for oximes, δ 158.–159.2 ppm. See also
