Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of (5-methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazol-4-yl)-methanol (4.5 g, 236 mmol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) was added at 0° C. thionyl chloride (3.6 g, 2.7 mL, 306 mmol) dropwise over 3 min and the solution stirred at 0° C. for 2 h. After this time, the mixture was diluted with water (50 mL) and the organic phase separated and washed with brine. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane and the combined extracts dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to afford the title compound (4.6 g, 93%) which was obtained as a light brown liquid. MS: m/e=208.1 [M+H]+.
