3-Butyn-2-ol → HCID 86680476, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-fluorobenzaldehyde oxime (0.2 g, 1.4 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was added N-chlorosuccinamide (0.1 g, 1.4 mmol) and the reaction stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. But-3-yn-2-ol (0.23 g, 1.68 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture stirred at reflux for 3 h. After completion of the reaction (as monitored by TLC), the mixture was extracted with DCM (3×100 mL), the organic layer washed with water (100 mL) followed by brine (100 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (60-120 mesh; using 50% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to obtain 1-(3-(4-fluorophenyl)isoxazol-5-yl)ethanol as liquid (0.15 g, 50% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.76 (dd, 2H), 7.05 (t, 2H), 6.48 (s, 1H), 5.04 (q, 1H), 1.63 (d, 3H).
