Ethyl 2-chloro-2-(hydroxyimino)acetate → Ethyl 5-[2-chloro-4(methylsulphenyl)phenyl]-4-cyclopropylcarbonylisoxazole-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[2-chloro-4-(methylsulphenyl)phenyl]-3-cyclopropylprop-1-yn-3-one (1.39g) and ethyl chloro-oximidoacetate (0.84 g) in toluene was stirred and heated at reflux overnight. It was cooled and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by chromatography eluted with a mixture of hexane and dichloromethane, followed by ether to give ethyl 5-[2-chloro-4(methylsulphenyl)phenyl]-4-cyclopropylcarbonylisoxazole-3-carboxylate (compound 9, 0.72g) as an orange solid, m.p. 50° C.
