Hydrochloric Acid → 3-[5-(4-Methylphenyl)-4-isoxazolyl]propionic acid

To a solution of diethyl malonate (11.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran (60 ml) was gradually added sodium hydride (60%, oil, 2.50 g) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 10 min and a solution of 4-chloromethyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)isoxazole (6.48 g) in tetrahydrofuran (80 ml) was added dropwise at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into 2N hydrochloric acid and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in a mixture of 6N hydrochloric acid (80 ml) and acetic acid (120 ml). The mixture was heated under reflux for 8 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and water was added to the residue. The obtained colorless crystals were filtrated, dried and recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give a colorless prism (5.03 g, yield 70%) of 3-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-4-isoxazolyl]propionic acid. melting point: 121–122° C.
