The condensation of 3,5-dimethylisoxazole (I) with ethylene oxide (II) by means of butyllithium in THF gives 3-(3-methylisoxazol-5-yl)-1-propanol (III), which by reaction with refluxing SOCl2 yields the corresponding propyl chloride (IV). The condensation of (IV) with 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzonitrile (V) [obtained by reaction of 4-bromo-2,6-dimethylphenol (VI) with Cu2CN2 in refluxing DMF] by means of K2CO3 and KI in hot N-methylpyrrolidone affords 3,5-dimethyl-4-[3-(3-methylisoxazol-5-yl)propoxy]benzonitrile (VII). The reaction of (VII) with hydroxylamine (VIII) and K2CO3 in refluxing ethanol gives the corresponding benzohydroxamic acid (IX), which is finally cyclized with refluxing trifluoroacetic anhydride and pyridine.
