1-Propanol → 2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)phenyl isoxazol-3-yl ketone O-methyloxime

Participants

Reaction Steps

n-Propanol (2 ml) and methoxyamine hydrochloride (0.50 g, 6 mmol) were added to 2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)phenyl isoxazol-3-yl ketone (0.64 g, 2 mmol), and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 17 hours. After completion of the reaction, water (100 ml) was added, the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (benzene/n-hexane) to give 2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)phenyl isoxazol-3-yl ketone O-methyloxime (a mixture of isomers A/B) (0.55 g, 81.8%) as colorless crystals. mp. 104-108° C.
