Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 3,4-difluoro-2-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-benzoic acid pentafluorophenyl ester (171 mg, 0.306 mmol) and 4-hydroxytetrahydroisoxazol-2-ium chloride (BIONET, 58 mg, 0.46 mmol) in dimethylformamide (2 mL) was added 4-methylmorpholine (0.1 mL, 0.91 mmol). The resultant reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 h. Ethyl acetate (50 mL) was added the mixture was washed with water (3×10 mL) and saturated brine solution (10 mL). The extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. Chromatography (10% methanol-dichloromethane) afforded a tan-colored oil that solidified upon standing. Recrystallization from acetone-ether afforded [3,4-Difluoro-2-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-phenyl]-(4-hydroxy-isoxazolidin-2-yl)-methanone (61 mg, 43% yield) as a white powder:
