Description

Ethyl4-acetyl-5-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylate is an analog of the neurotransmitter glutamate. It is a precursor to the amino acid methionine, which is used in protein synthesis and is essential for cell growth. The compound is synthesized by reacting ethyl acetoacetate with methyl iodide and hydrochloric acid. This reaction yields an anion that can be converted to the desired product by adding a halide salt. Ethyl4-acetyl-5-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylate has been used as a model for glutamate in studies on the nervous system.
