Reaction Steps

12.6 g of triethylamine was added to 27.9 g of 6-(3-isopropylisoxazol-5-yl)-tetrahydropyran-2,4-dione in 200 ml of THF. At 0° C., 13.3 g of butyryl chloride was dripped in and the mixture was stirred for one hour at 0° C. The mixture was evaporated, followed by partitioning between methylene chloride and water. The organic phase was worked up, i.e., extracted with water, 10% strength sodium carbonate solution and again with water, dried with sodium sulfate and evaporated again. The residue was dissolved in anhydrous methylene chloride and stirred for 48 hours with 1.3 g of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)-pyridine. Removal of the solvent was followed by chromatography over silica gel with methylene chloride and methanol (98.5:1.5). The isolated compound was recrystallized from a small amount of cyclohexane. There was obtained 13 g of product.
