Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 5-(2-oxopropyl)isoxazole-3-carboxylate (0.65 g, 3.30 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (10 ml). A solution of cesium carbonate (1.611 g, 4.94 mmol) in water (5 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and it was stirred for 7 h at RT. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with water and pH was adjusted to 2 with citric acid. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate, dried with Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness afforded 0.203 g (36%) of the title compound. 1H-NMR (400 MHz; d6-DMSO): δ, 2.21 (s, 3H), 4.20 (s, 2H), 6.67 (s, 1H).
