Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(5-methyl-3-phenyl-isoxazol-4-ylmethoxy)-nicotinic acid (200 mg, 0.64 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added 1,1′-carbonyl-diimidazole (115 mg, 0.71 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 0.5 h at 80° C. After cooling to ambient temperature 5-aminomethyl-isoxazolidin-3-one (82 mg, 0.71 mmol) was added and stirring was continued for 1 h at this temperature and for 2 h at 80° C. It was diluted with ethyl acetate (10 mL) and washed with water (10 mL) and aqueous sodium chloride (saturated, 10 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Purification by chromatography (SiO2, heptane:ethyl acetate:methanol=40:60:0 to 0:90:10) afforded the title compound (13 mg, 5%) as a white solid. MS: m/e=409.3 [M+H]+.
