To a solution of ethyl 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylate (63 mg, 0.24 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 mL) was added a solution of lithium hydroxide hydrate (10 mg, 0.24 mmol) in water (1.5 mL). After stirring for 20 minutes, the reaction mixture was acidified with 1M HCl and extracted with dichloromethane three times. The combined dichloromethane extracts were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated to obtain 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylic acid (55 mg, 0.23 mmol).
