Methyl 4-fluorobenzoylacetate → 1-(5-Chloro-2,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-5-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1H-[1,2,3]triazole-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Azido-5-chloro-2,4-dimethoxy-benzene (0.4 g, 1.9 mmol), 3-(4-Fluoro-phenyl)-3-oxo-propionic acid methyl ester (0.42 g, 2.2 mmol) and sodium ethoxide in EtOH (70 mg of sodium in 15 mL EtOH) were refluxed for 3 hours. During the reaction, the solution turned brown from dark green. After that, EtOH was evaporated off and the resulting oil was dried in vacuum. Trituration with ether (15 mL) gave light brown solids, which were removed by filtration and washed with ether. The solids then re-dissolved in CHCl3 and filtered. After evaporation of the solvent, light brown solids were obtained (0.35 g, 50%).
