1,2-Benzisoxazole is an aromatic organic compound with a molecular formula C₇H₅NO containing a benzene-fused isoxazole ring structure.^[1]^[2] The compound itself has no common applications; however, functionalized benzisoxazoles and benzisoxazoyls have a variety of uses, including pharmaceutical drugs such as some antipsychotics (including risperidone, paliperidone, ocaperidone, and iloperidone) and the anticonvulsant zonisamide.

Its aromaticity makes it relatively stable;^[3] however, it is only weakly basic.

Synthesis

Benzisoxazole may be prepared from inexpensive salicylaldehyde, via a base catalyzed room temperature reaction with hydroxylamine-O-sulfonic acid.^[4]
