Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(1-(Trifluoromethyl)cyclopropyl)isoxazol-3-amine

Temperature

65 °C

A mixture of 3-oxo-3-(1-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropyl)propanenitrile (1 g, 5.65 mmol) (prepared as described in example 137A step 1), hydroxylamine sulfate (1.11 g, 6.78 mmol) and sodium hydrogencarbonate (1.2 g, 14.13 mmol) in a mixture of 10% methanol in water (20 mL), was heated at 65° C. for 15 h. After cooling to rt, the mixture was adjusted to pH 1 with concentrated hydrochloric acid and separated into two equal 10 mL batches and placed into two separate 20 mL microwave vials fitted with a stirrer bar. After sealing, each batch was placed in a Biotage Microwave Synthesizer and heated (with stirring) at 140° C. for 5 min. Each batch was cooled and neutralized with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution. Both processed batches were combined and concentrated in vacuo and the aqueous solution extracted, twice, with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, separated, dried over MgSO4 and filtered. Concentration in vacuo afforded 5-(1-(trifluoromethyl)cyclopropyl)isoxazol-3-amine (687 mg, 64%) as a light yellow solid which taken on without further purification. LC-MS (ESI) m/z 193 (M+H)+.
