Reaction Steps

A solution of (E)-methyl 1-(3-(1-(acetoxyimino)ethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl)cyclopropane carboxylate (10.5 g, 39.6 mmol) and pyridine (31.3 g, 396 mmol) in DMF (150 mL) was heated at 125° C. for 10 h. The cooled reaction mixture was poured into water (250 mL) and was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under vacuum to give the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 50:1) to give methyl 1-(3-methylbenzo[d]isoxazol-5-yl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (7.5 g, 82%). 1H NMR (CDCl3 300 MHz) δ 7.58-7.54 (m, 2H), 7.48 (dd, J=1.5, 8.1 Hz, 1H), 3.63 (s, 3H), 2.58 (s, 3H), 1.71-1.68 (m, 2H), 1.27-1.23 (m, 2H).
