Reaktionsschritte

25 g (0.14 mol) of 2-(4,5-dihydroisoxazol-3-yl)-3-methylaniline and 0.2 g of copper(II) chloride are initially charged in 200 ml of dimethyl sulfide, and 16.1 g of n-butyl nitrite (0.15 mol) are added dropwise at 55-62° C. The mixture is then stirred at 60° C. for 0.5 hours. For work-up, the mixture is then washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and water and then concentrated under reduced pressure. This gives 26.3 g (91%) of a dark oil which solidifies after a while (content according to HPLC 96%). The product can be purified further by trituration with methyl tert-butyl ether.
