Triethylamine → Ethyl 5-(3-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)phenyl)isoxazole-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

(3-ethynyl-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (2.48 g, 0.0114 mole) and ethyl chlorooximidoacetate (3.82 g, 0.0252 mole) were mixed in THF (12 mL) and triethylamine (3.98 mL, 0.0286 mole) was added slowly. The mixture was stirred for 16 hours and then diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL) and aqueous 1N HCl (50 mL). The two layers were separated and the aqueous layer extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined organics were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated in vacuo and purified by flash chromatography (10–15% ethyl acetate/Hexane) to provide the titled compound (2.64 g, 50% yield).
