Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(cyclopropylcarbamoyl)-isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (600 mg, 2.68 mmol) in THF (7 ml) and ethanol (3 ml) was added LiOH (1M; 5.35 ml, 5.35 mmol) at 0-5° C. The mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 1 h, poured into 50 ml diethyl ether and extracted. The organic phase was washed with water. The combined aqueous phases were acidified with 1M HCl (6 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layers were dried and evaporated to yield the product as yellow oil (464 mg, 80%).
