Pyridine → 2-[(2-Chlorophenyl)methyl]-4-ethyl-4-methylisoxazolidine-3,5-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared in the manner of Example IV, using 8.2 grams (0.045 mole) of 2-ethyl-2-methylmalonyl dichloride, 7.1 grams (0.045 mole) of N-(2-chlorophenylmethyl)hydroxylamine and 16 ml of pyridine in 184 ml of methylene chloride. After purification on a silica gel column, 8.2 grams of 2-[(2-chlorophenyl)methyl]-4-ethyl-4-methylisoxazolidine-3,5-dione were obtained as an oil. The nmr and the ir spectra were consistent with the assigned structure.
