Abstract: p-Methylphenylvinyl)-5(4H)-isoxazolone was synthesized by the reaction of methylthio ester with NH2OH·HCl at room temperature and its structure was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The configuration based on 1H NMR spectrum in CDCl3 is in agreement with the crystal structure, which indicates that the titled compound is stable in poorly polar solvents, such as diethyl ether and CHCl 3. For 3-(p-methylphenylvinyl)-5(4H)-isoxazolone, the net-charge of C7 is -0.077 and that of C8 is -0.101 by semi-experiential calculations with AM1 and PM3 methods, which are responsible for the chemical shift of H7(6.83) and H8(6.96). With the B3LYP/6-311G** calculation, the 3-(p-Methylphenylvinyl)-5(4H)-isoxazolone is the most stable configuration among the three isomers.
