Hydroxyamine hydrochloride → HCID 19931777, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium acetate (7.4g) was added to a mixture of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (6.3 g) and 3-cyclopropyl-2-ethoxymethylene-1-(2-fluoro-4-methylsulphonylphenyl)-propan-1,3-dione (29.0g) in ethanol. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase was washed with water, dried (anhydrous magnesium sulphate) filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was triturated with ether and filtered. The resultant solid was recrystallized from methanol. The mother liquors from the recrystallization were combined and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give 4-cyclopropylcarbonyl-5-(2-fluoro-4-methylsulphonylphenyl)-isoxazole (compound 1) as a white solid, m.p. 129.5°-130.5° C.
