Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 0.83 g of 4-[5-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-3-yl]benzaldehyde and 0.36 g of trimethylsilylcyanide, 0.01 g of zinc iodide was added while stirring the mixture at 0° C. The resultant mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 10 minutes, and then left to be cooled down to room temperature. 2 mL of a 2M ammonia-methanol solution was added to the resultant reaction mixture, followed by continuing the stirring of the resultant reaction mixture at 50° C. further for 3.5 hours. After the completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the resultant residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate-hexane (1:2) to obtain 0.60 g of the objective substance as a brown resinoid.
