Sulfuric Acid → 4-[5-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-3-yl]-2-fluoro benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a solution of 0.95 g of 5-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-3-(3-fluoro-4-hydroxymethylphenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole in 25 ml of acetone, Johnes' Reagent prepared from 1.50 g of chromic acid, 1.2 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and 7 ml of water was added dropwise under cooling with ice and with stirring, after the completion of the addition dropwise, continued to stir at room temperature for further 1.5 hour. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured in 50 ml of water and extracted with diethyl ether (50 ml×1). The organic phase was dehydrated with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residual solid was washed with hexane to obtain 0.67 g of the aimed product as beige crystal.
