Participants

Reaction Steps

The nitrile was dissolved in methanol (200 ml) and HCI-saturated ether (200 ml) was added followed by stirring for 16 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, water and ether added, and the phases separated. Drying of the ether phase over magnesium sulfate and removal of solvent in vacuo gave methyl 3-(1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)propionate (13 g) as an oil.
