Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Phenyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-5(2H)-oxazolone (13.5 g, 0.059 mol), 2-chloroacrylonitrile (26 mL, 0.295 mol) and acetonitrile (250 mL) are heated at reflux temperature for 52 hours. The reaction mixture is then cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo to give a solid. Recrystallization of the solid from toluene gives the title product as a yellow solid 10.1 g, 73%). Identified by NMR spectral analyses.
