Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared using 3-(4-nitro-phenyl)-5-phenyl-isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester by the same procedure as described for the preparation of 3-(4-amino-phenyl)-isoxazol-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester in Example 1. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 16 hours instead of heating at 80° C. for 3 hours. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel with 10% EtOAc in chloroform to give the title compound in 74% yield.
