The title compound, C6H8N2O4, a new derivative of isoxazole, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The shows the molecule to be almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-hydrogen atoms = 0.029 Å), this conformation being supported by an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the extended structure, the molecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains propagating along [010].

Structure description
Isoxazoles, five-membered et al., 2011), liquid crystals (Kauhanka et al., 2006), solar cells (Yoon et al., 2022), high energy materials (Lal et al., 2023), pesticides and insecticides (Wang et al., 2022) and pharmaceuticals (Zhu et al., 2018). In a continuation of our previous work on isoxazole derivatives (Abdul Manan et al., 2023), we now present the synthesis and structure of the title compound.
containing adjacent nitrogen and oxygen atoms, have many applications including in photochromic components (PuThe title compound, C6H8N2O4, crystallizes in P21/c with one molecule in the (Fig. 1). All of the non-hydrogen atoms lie almost in the same plane, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.029 Å and a maximum deviation of 0.060 (1) Å for C8. An intramolecular N—H⋯Oe (e = ester) hydrogen bond (Table 1) helps to ensure the near co-planarity of the isoxazole and ester moieties. This whole-molecule planarity, assisted by an intramolecular hydrogen bond, is similar to what was observed in the related compounds ethyl 5-amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate (Sony et al., 2005), ethyl 5-amino-3-(difluoromethyl)isoxazole-4-carboxylate (Schmitt et al., 2015) and 5-amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carbohydrazide (Regiec et al., 2018). The relative orientation of the ester and amine groups, allowing the formation of the intramolecular hydrogen bond to the ester oxygen atom rather than the carbonyl oxygen atom, is, however, different to what is seen in ethyl 5-amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate (Sony et al., 2005), ethyl 5-amino-3-(difluoromethyl)isoxazole-4-carboxylate (Schmitt et al., 2015), ethyl 5-amino-3-[fluoro(trifluoromethoxy)methyl]isoxazole-4-carboxylate (Schmitt et al., 2017) and 1-(cyclohexylcarbamoyl)cyclohexyl 5-amino-3-methylisoxazole-4-carboxylate (Bąchor et al., 2019).

In the crystal of the title compound, adjacent molecules are linked by N—H⋯Oc (c = carbonyl) and N—H⋯Oi (i = isoxazole) hydrogen bonds, forming an R22 (7) loop, which generates chains of molecules running along the crystallographic b-axis direction (Fig. 2). No additional directional interactions exist between chains. This combination of hydrogen bonds leading to chain formation is not seen in related isoxazole compounds as a result of the different relative position of the amine group on the isoxazole ring. While the combination of two inter- and one intramolecular hydrogen bond has been seen previously in related isoxazoles (Sony et al., 2005; Regiec et al., 2018; Bąchor et al., 2019), the pattern of hydrogen bonds is either different or has additional hydrogen bonds contributing to it, and the resulting supramolecular motifs differ as well. One-dimensional chain motifs have been seen in two of the related isoxazoles (Schmitt et al., 2015, 2017), although the pattern of hydrogen bonds that leads to the chains is different.
Synthesis and crystallization
Synthesis of the methyl 3-methoxy-4-nitroisoxazole-5-carboxylate precursor
The starting material, methyl 3-methoxyisoxazole-5-carboxylate, was prepared according to the previously described literature procedure with minor modifications (Melikian et al., 1992). K2CO3 (2.9 g, 21.0 mmol, 1.5 eq) and CH3I (1.3 ml, 21.0 mmol, 1.5 eq) were added to a solution of methyl 3-hydroxyisoxazole-5-carboxylate (2.0 g, 13.9 mmol, 1.0 eq) in dimethylformamide (DMF) (10 ml) at 0°C. After 14 h stirring at room temperature, the mixture was poured into an ice-cold aqueous solution of HCl (0.5 M, 100 ml) and extracted into Et2O (5 × 80 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with a saturated aqueous solution of Na2CO3 (80 ml), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a light yellow crystalline solid, which was purified by silica gel (petroleum ether/Et2O, 80:20), affording methyl 3-methoxyisoxazole-5-carboxylate (1.45 g, 66%) as a colourless crystalline solid.
Triflic anhydride (5.9 g, 21.0 mmol, 3.0 eq) was added to a solution of tetramethylammonium nitrate (2.9 g, 21.0 mmol, 3.0 eq) in DCM (3 ml) at room temperature. The suspension was stirred for 2 h, then a solution of methyl 3-methoxyisoxazole-5-carboxylate (1.1 g, 7.0 mmol, 1.0 eq) in dichloromethane (DCM) (10 ml) was added. After 48 h stirring under reflux, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and partitioned between water (30 ml) and DCM (40 ml). The organic layer was separated and washed with water (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (3 × 50 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 ml), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting yellow residue was purified by silica gel (petroleum ether/DCM, 50:50) to afford methyl 3-methoxy-4-nitroisoxazole-5-carboxylate (0.9 g, 70%) as yellowish oil: Rf = 0.41 (petroleum ether/Et2O, 80:20, UV/KMnO4); 1H (500 MHz, CDCl3), δ: (p.p.m): 4.14 (3H, s), 4.02 (3H, s); 13C (125 MHz, CDCl3), δ: (p.p.m): 164.0, 157.4, 155.0, 127.7, 58.9, 54.2; HRMS m/z (APCI+), found: [M + H]+ 203.0295, C6H7N2O6 requires [M + H]+ 203.0299.
Synthesis of methyl 4-amino-3-methoxyisoxazole-5-carboxylate
Iron powder (267 mg, 4.86 mmol, 5.0 eq) was added to a solution of methyl 3-methoxy-4-nitroisoxazole-5-carboxylate (196 mg, 0.97 mmol, 1.0 eq) in AcOH/H2O (AcOH = acetic acid) (3:1 v/v mixture, 12 ml). After stirring at 50°C for 2 h, the solution was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between water (20 ml) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) (20 ml). The mixture was basified with a saturated aqueous solution of Na2CO3 and further extracted with EtOAc (3 × 20 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (20 ml), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a pale-yellow solid, which was purified by silica gel (DCM, 100), affording methyl 4-amino-3-methoxyisoxazole-5-carboxylate (139 mg, 83%) as a colourless crystalline solid: Rf = 0.74 (DCM/EtOAc, 90:10, UV/ninhydrin); m.p. 111–112°C; 1H (500 MHz, CDCl3), δ: (p.p.m): 4.15 (br s, 2H), 4.05 (3H, s), 3.92 (3H, s); 13C (125 MHz, CDCl3), δ: (p.p.m): 164.5, 159.1, 138.4, 125.6, 57.5, 51.9; HRMS m/z (ESI+), found: [M + Na]+ 195.0373, C6H8N2O4Na requires [M + Na]+ 195.0382.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt). Carbon-bound H atoms were included in calculated positions (C—H = 0.98 Å) and refined as riding atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The nitrogen-bound hydrogen atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and refined isotropically subject to a distance restraint. |
