Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 86591380, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 5-phenylisoxazole-4-carbaldehyde (7.18 g), ethyl diethylphosphonoacetate (9.35 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (150 ml) was added sodium hydride (60%, oil, 1.65 g) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into dilute hydrochloric acid, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and ethyl (E)-3-(5-phenyl-4-isoxazolyl)propenoate (8.88 g, yield 88%) was obtained as a yellow oil from a fraction eluted with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:4, volume ratio). NMR (CDCl3) δ: 1.33 (3H, t, J=7.2 Hz), 4.27 (2H, q, J=7.2 Hz), 6.34 (1H, d, J=15.4 Hz), 7.48–7.82 (6H, m), 8.52 (1H, s).
