Triethylamine → Methyl 3-(2-fluorophenyl)-5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution (0° C., N2) of 2-fluorobenzoylchloride oxime (0.50 g, 2.9 mmol) and methyl-2-butynoate (0.57 g, 5.8 mmol) in Et2O (15 ml) was added a solution of Et3N (0.52 ml) in Et2O (2 ml) over a period of 1 h followed by warming to room temperature while stirring overnight (17 h). The reaction was diluted with Et2O, washed (H2O then brine), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. Column chromatography (silica gel, hexanes/EtOAc gradient) gave the title compound (0.39 g, 58%).
