Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[hydroxy-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)methyl]-5-cyclopropylisoxazole (0.89 g) and phosphorous trichloride (0.57 g) in dichloromethane (50 ml) were stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic extracts were dried (anhydrous magnesium sulphate), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica eluted with a mixture of petroleum ether/ethyl acetate to give 4-[chloro-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)methyl]-5-cyclopropylisoxazole (compound 298, 0.79 g) as a yellow oil: NMR: (CDCl3) 1.1 (4H,m) 1.9(1H,m) 6.9(1H,s) 7.9(1H,m) 8.0(1H,s) 8.25(2H,m).
