Sodium Chloride → 1-(5-Methyl-3-phenylisoxazol-4-yl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of pentane-2,4-dione (13.23 g, 0.132 mol) and triethylamine (13.35 g, 0.132 mol) in ethanol was added α-chlorobenzaldehyde oxime (13.70 g, 0.088 mol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. To the reaction was added ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous NaCl. The organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous NaCl (twice) and dried with MgSO4, and the organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure to provide 17.7 g of the title compound. The yield was 100%.
