Reaction Steps

2',4'-Dichloro-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)prop-2-enophenone (0.27 g, 1.0 mMole) was added dropwise in 1,1,1-trichloroethane (2 ml) to a refluxing mixture of trimethylsulphoxonium iodide (0.33 g, 1.5 mMole), cetrimide (0.03 g), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (5 ml) and aqueous 2N sodium hydroxide (3 ml) with vigorous stirring over 2 minutes. After refluxing for a further 15 minutes the organic phase, after cooling was separated. Evaporation gave a gum, weight 0.11 g.
