Water → Methanesulfonic acid 3-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-isoxazol-5-ylmethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

[3-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-isoxazol-5-yl]-methanol (3.0 g, 10.6 mmol) was dissolved in methylene chloride (50 ml, 0.2 M), to which solution were added dropwise MsCl (1.23 ml, 15.9 mmol) and triethylamine (2.23 ml, 16 mmol-), and a reaction was performed at room temperature for 4 hours. The completion of the reaction was confirmed by liquid chromatography, 5 ml of water was added to the mixture, and the resulting solution was extracted with water and methylene chloride. The organic solvent layer was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain a crude solid compound. This was recrystallized from hexane:ethyl acetate (5:1) to obtain methanesulfonic acid 3-(4-benzyloxy-phenyl)-isoxazol-5-ylmethyl ester as a white solid compound.
