Reaction Steps

5-(2',4'-Dichlorophenyl)-4-isoxazolecarbonyl chloride (2.0 g.; 0.007 mol.) was covered with methanol and the solution was heated on a steam cone for 2 hours. The excess methanol was then removed under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was dissolved in hot pentane. The product crystallized from the pentane solution to yield methyl-5-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl)-4-isoxazolecarboxylate (1.2 g.; 63.1% yield) having a melting point of 83°-84° C. and the following analysis:
