Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., a solution of 3.6 g (0.09 mol) of sodium hydroxide in 75 ml of water was dripped into 20.0 g (0.09 mol) of dimethyl 3-isopropenylisoxazole-4,5-dicarboxylate (from stage A.1) in 150 ml of methanol, and the mixture was stirred for 14 hours at room temperature. 250 ml of water was added, the pH was adjusted to 8, extraction was effected with 200 ml of dichloroethane, and the aqueous phase was adjusted to a pH of 1-2 with 6N hydrochloric acid and extracted three times, each time with 250 ml of dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. Yield: 97%; 1H-NMR (in CDCl3): δ=2.12 ppm (s; 3H), 4.07 ppm (s; 3H), 5.41 ppm (m; 2H); 8.00 ppm (bs; 1H).
