Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → HCID 19025402, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 4.40 g (0.0119 mole) of 3-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-1-methyl -4-(2-methyl-4-trimethylsilylethynylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazol-5-(1H)-thione in 75 ml of tetrahydrofuran was added 10.8 g (0.0414 mole) of tetrabutylammonium fluoride. This mixture was stirred for about 20 minutes, and the reaction was partitioned between 75 ml of diethyl ether and 150 ml of an aqueous sodium chloride solution. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and was filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving a residue. This residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with diethyl ether, to yield 2.5 g of 4-(4-ethynyl-2-methylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-1-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-5(1H)-thione as an oil, Compound 111 of Table 1. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
