A solution of ethyl 3-ethoxy-4-phthalimidomethylisoxazole-5-carboxylate in 1 M NaOH was boiled under reflux for 45 min. The mixture was cooled, added concd HCl and extracted with diethylether (3×400 ml). The organic extracts were concentrated in vacuo, added 1 M HCl (600 mL) and boiled under reflux for 1 h. After cooling the mixture was washed with diethylether (3×600 mL) and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude product which was recrystallized (acetic acid) to yield the title compound (1.5 g, 82%): mp 215-216° C.
