Thionyl Chloride → HCID 53776119, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzene (5 ml) and thionyl chloride (0.36 g, 3.0 mmol) were added to 2-hydroxymethylphenyl 3-methylisoxazol-5-yl ketone O-methyloxime (0.62 g, 2.5 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/n-hexane) to give 2-chloromethylphenyl 3-methylisoxazol-5-yl ketone O-methyloxime (0.26 g, yield: 39.3%) as a colorless oil.
