Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodobenzene (78.5 g) was added to a solution of 1,1,1-trifluoropentane-2,4-dione in acetonitrile (500 ml). The mixture was heated under reflux for 45 minutes, then cooled, and thiourea (15.2 g) was added. The mixture was heated under reflux for 4 hours and then left to stand overnight. Evaporation and crystallisation of the residue from dichloromethane gave the title compound.
