Participants

Reaction Steps

4-cyano-5-ethoxymethyleneamino-3-aminoisoxazole (320 mg, 1.8 mmol) (see J. Org. Chem., 29, 2116 (1964)) and 2-aminoindan (710 mg, 5.3 mmol) in dry ethanol (3 ml) were heated to reflux for 1.5 hours. The residue obtained by distilling off the solvent under reduced pressure was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1). The product obtained was crystallized from ethanol to obtain the title compound (270 mg, 0.38 mmol) having the following physical properties:
