Procedure

To a stirred solution of N-hydroxy-2-methylbenzenecarboximidoyl chloride (2.07 g, 12.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in diethyl ether (15 mL) was added a solution of 3-pyrrolidin-1-yl-acrylic acid ethyl ester (prepared according to the procedure described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,187,099) (2.06 g, 12.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and triethylamine (1.48 g, 12.2 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in diethyl ether (30 mL) dropwise over 15 minutes. The resultant mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours, partitioned between water and diethyl ether and separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether (2×), and the combined ethereal extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. Purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel (gradient: 0 to 20% ethyl acetate in cyclohexane) gave 1.32 g (47%) of 3-o-tolyl-isoxazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 9.02 (s, 1H), 7.39-7.34 (m, 1H), 7.32-7.24 (m, 3H), 4.19 (q, 2H), 2.23 (s, 3H), 1.17 (t, 3H).
