Lithium Hydroxide → 3-Aminoisoxazole-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 3-aminoisoxazole-5-carboxylate (prepared according to Lepage, Francis; Hublot, Bernard; Adolphe, Pierre Sylvie. Preparation of alkyl 3-aminoisoxazole-5-carboxylates. Fr. Demande (1998), FR 2750425) (0.790 g, 5.06 mmol) in acetonitrile (28 mL) and water (9.5 mL) was added lithium hydroxide (0.550 g, 23.0 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h. The reaction was quenched with 1 N HCl. Organic solvent was removed in vacuo. The resulting precipitate was filtered and dried to give the product as white solid (585 mg, 90%). LCMS calculated for C4H5N2O3 (M+H)+: m/z=129.0.
