Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.1 g of 5-ethyl-3-phenylisoxazole-4-carboxylic acid (prepared as described in J. Org. Chem. 1985, 50, 5660-5666), 2.94 g of 3-chloropropylamine hydrochloride, 2.62 mL of 92% diethyl cianoposphonate and 4.38 mL of triethylamine in 50 mL of anhydrous dimethylformamide was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, poured into 500 mL of water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water, dried (sodium sulphate) and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The crude was purified by flash chromatography (ethyl acetate-petroleum ether 3:7) to give 3.35 g (73%) of the title compound. M.p. 75-76° C.
