Hydrogen Peroxide → 5-[7-(4-Carbamylphenoxy)heptyl]-3-methylisoxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.47 g (0.015 mole) of 5-[7-(4-cyanophenoxy)heptyl]-3-methylisoxazole (Example 5), 8 ml of 30% hydrogen peroxide, 8 ml of 95% ethanol and 0.6 ml of 6 N sodium hydroxide was stirred for ten minutes. There was then added 10 ml of 95% ethanol and the reaction mixture was warmed at 40°-50° C. for 4.5 hours, then held at room temperature overnight and treated with 5% sulfuric acid to neutral pH. The mixture was cooled and the solid product collected by filtration to give 4.4 g of 5-[7-(4-carbamylphenoxy)heptyl]-3-methylisoxazole, m.p. 153°-154° C., and recrystallized from methanol.
