[3-(4-Nitro-phenyl)-isoxazol-5-YL]-methanol → [3-(4-Aminophenyl)-1,2-oxazol-5-yl]methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

[3-(4-nitro-phenyl)-isoxazol-5-yl]-methanol (300 mg, 1.58 mmol) was placed in a 250-ml Parr reactor flask, to which were added 50 ml of ethanol and 10 wt % Pd/C. The mixture was reacted under 40 psi of hydrogen in the Parr reactor for about 1 hour. The completion of the reaction was confirmed by TLC, and then a filtrate by means of a celite placed was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a yellow solid compound. This was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane (1:2) to obtain [3-(4-amino-phenyl)-isoxazol-5-yl]-methanol in a yellow solid state.
