To a suspension of (E and/or Z)-3-butyl-isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (10.0 g, 51 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added a solution of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (4.25 g, 101 mmol) in water (100 mL) and then methanol (100 mL) added and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was acidified to pH 1 with HCl (2 N) and the resulting mixture extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were then washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to afford the title compound (8.33 g, 97%) which was obtained as an off white solid. MS: m/e=168.1 [M−H]+.
