No. 2,342,119) 39.6 g of methyl acrylate, 0.2 g triethyl amine in 200 ml of toluene is stirred and treated dropwise with 23.8 g of phenyl isocyanate. The mixture is stirred for 72 hours at room temperature and heated at 90° C. for two hours. The mixture is cooled, filtered to remove the diphyl urea, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting oil is chromatographed on SiO2 (elution with hexane:ethyl-acetate; 75:25) to yield 4,5-dihydro-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-3-isoxazolepropanoic acid methyl ester as a colorless oil.
