Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxyisoxazole (50.0 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (300 ml), a solution of sulfuryl chloride (34.5 g) in dry benzene (50 ml) was added dropwise with stirring at 5° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes and then at room temperature for one hour and further refluxed for 3 hours. The solvent of the reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the solid thus obtained was recrystallized from ethanol to obtain the title compound (44.2 g, 76.8%) as colorless needle-like crystals.
