Reaction Steps

[3-(3,5-Dimethyl-4-isoxazolyl)-4-(methyloxy)phenyl]amine (for a preparation see Intermediate 60, 27.4 g, 126 mmol) was dissolved in diethyl [(ethyloxy)methylidene]propanedioate (27.1 g, 126 mmol) and heated to 130° C. The solution was heated for 1 h, then cooled to room temperature and reduced to dryness in vacuo to give diethyl ({[3-(3,5-dimethyl-4-isoxazolyl)-4-(methyloxy)phenyl]amino}methylidene)propanedioate (50.1 g), which after standing overnight became as a brown crystalline solid.
