Carbon Tetrachloride → HCID 18332479, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1.24 g (5.3 mmol) of 5-(2-hydroxymethyl-α-methoxybenzyl)-3-methylisoxazole and 10 ml of acetonitrile was added 1.67 g (6.36 mmol) of triphenylphosphine and 1.23 ml (12.7 mmol) of carbon tetrachloride under ice-cooling and stirred at room temperature overnight. After completion of the reaction, the residue obtained by concentration under reduced pressure was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate/n-hexane) to give 5-(2-chloromethyl-α-methoxybenzyl)-3-methylisoxazole (1.03 g, 77.2%) as colorless oil.
