Versuchsvorschrift
To a solution of 2-(3-methylisoxazol-5-yl)acetic acid (7.28 g, 51.6 mmol) in EtOH (200 mL, 3425 mmol) was added concentrated H2SO4 (0.30 mL, 5.63 mmol) at room temperature. After 48 h, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give a dark brown oil. The crude ester was filtered over a plug of silica (50 g) and the product was eluted with 40% Et2O:60% Hexanes (400 mL). The filtrate was subsequently concentrated to give the product ethyl 2-(3-methylisoxazol-5-yl)acetate (8.50 g, 50.2 mmol, 97% yield) as a clear oil. LC/MS m/z 170 [M+H]+.
