Triethylamine → Methyl 3-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a fashion similar to that for preparation 15, 2,6-difluorobenzoylchloride oxime (1.00 g, 5.19 mmol), methyl-2-butynoate (1.01 g, 10.4 mmol), triethyl amine (0.94 ml, 6.8 mmol) in diethyl ether (3 ml), and diethyl ether (25 ml) afforded 4-methoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-3-(2,6-difluorophenyl)isoxazole (0.80 g, 61%) after purification by column chromatography (silica gel, hexanes/diethyl ether gradient).
