Pyridine → N-methoxy-N,3,5-trimethylisoxazole-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

659 μl (8.15 mmol) of pyridine are added to a suspension of 343.07 mg (3.45 mmol) of N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride in 10 mL of dichloromethane. The mixture is stirred at room temperature until fully dissolved. A solution of 526.32 mg (3.13 mmol) of 3,5-dimethylisoxazole-4-carbonyl chloride in 5 mL of dichloromethane is then added. After stirring for 1 hour at room temperature, the reaction mixture is taken up in saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and stirred for a few minutes, and the phases are separated by settling. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The residue obtained is taken up in toluene and evaporated, the operation being repeated a second time. 570 mg of N-methoxy-N-methyl-3,5-dimethylisoxazole-4-carboxamide are then obtained, corresponding to the following characteristics:
