Reaction Steps

Combine 3-(3-fluoro-pyridin-4-yl)-5-methyl-isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (2.00 g, 0.008 mol) with aqueous sodium hydroxide (2N, 15.0 mL, 0.03 mol), ethanol (3 mL), and tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) and stir overnight at ambient temperature. Remove the organic solvents in vacuo and adjust the aqueous mixture to approx. pH 3.5 with aqueous hydrochloric acid. Extract with ethyl acetate and dry the combined extracts over sodium sulfate and concentrate in vacuo. Drying nets the desired isoxazole acid as an off white solid (1.35 g, 76%). MS(FD): M+ 223.2 m/z.
