Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 21930329, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-furan-2-yl-1-(4-phenoxy-phenyl)-propenone (0.4 g, 1.4 mmol) and hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.14 g, 2.1 mmol), was added sodium hydroxide (0.11 g, 2.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 3 days. The mixture was then concentrated, and neutralized with diluted HCl. Ethyl acetate and water were added. The organic layer was separated and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed and the residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, eluted with 20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give the desired isoxazole in poor yield (10 mg).
