Reaction Steps

2.22 g. of 4-Hydroxy-3-methylisoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (0.1 mol.) are dissolved in 150 ml. of ethanol and 28 g. of potassium carbonate (0.2 mol.). 31 g. of ethyl iodide (0.2 mol.) are added. The mixture is heated with stirring for 6 hours. The hot solution is filtered and the solvent evaporated. The oily residue yields on crystallization with methanol 18.2 g. of 4-ethoxy-3-methylisoxazolo-[3,4-b]pyridine-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (73%), m.p. 62°.
