Triethylamine → 5-(tert-Butoxycarbonylaminomethyl)-3-phenylisoxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of α-chlorobenzaldehyde oxime (Method 22; 1 g, 6.4 mmol) in THF (13 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-propargylamine (0.5 g, 3.2 mmol) and triethylamine (0.9 ml, 6.4 mmol) in THF (25 ml) cooled with an ice bath. The mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred for 2 days. The volatiles were removed by evaporation and the residue dissolved in DCM. The solution was washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was triturated with isohexane/ether (9:1) and collected by filtration to give the title compound (473 mg, 54%). NMR (CDCl3) 1.45 (s, 9H), 4.45 (d, 2H), 5.10 (bs, 1H), 6.5 (s, 1H), 7.42 (m, 3H), 7.8 (m, 2H).
