Pyridine → Dimefluthrin

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran, 1.0 g of 4-methoxymethy-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol and 0.42 g of pyridine were dissolved, 0.9 g of 3-(2-methyl-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic chloride {stereoisomers ratio (1R)-trans:(1R)-cis:(1S)-trans:(1S)-cis=93.9:2.5:3.5:0.1} was added thereto and stirred for 8 hours at room temperature. After that, the reaction mixture was poured into about 50 ml of ice-water and extracted with 80 ml of ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 1.4 g of 4-methoxymethy-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl 3-(2-methyl-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropane-carboxylate.
