Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 2-(5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetate (syn isomer) (2.5 g) was added to 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide (14 ml), and the solution was stirred at ambient temperature for an hour. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 1.8 with 10% hydrochloric acid, salted out with sodium chloride, and then extracted with a mixture of ethyl acetate and tetrahydrofuran. After drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the extract was evaporated to dryness to give a residue, which was washed with diisopropyl ether to obtain 2-(5-amino-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetic acid (syn isomer) (2.0 g).
