Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → HCID 22282452, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-(3-cyanophenyl)-5-(methoxymethyl)isoxazole-4-carboxylate (1.12 g, 4.1 mmol) was dissolved in 3 mL THF and 1 mL water. Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.20 g, 4.9 mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to stir for 24 hours under N2. The solvent was removed in vacuo and redissolved in 100 mL of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 30 mL EtOAc twice then acidified with 1N HCl to pH 3. The acidic solution was extracted three times with 30 mL of EtOAc. The combined organic were dried with MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the desired white solid (0.80 g, 75%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 7.98 (m, 1H); 7.91 (dd, J=8.1, 2.9, 1H); 7.79 (dd, J=8.1 , 2.9, 1H); 7.59 (t, J=8.1, 1H); 4.89 (s, 2H); 3.53 (s, 3H).
