Thionyl Chloride → 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-5-chloromethyl-1,2,3-triazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-methyl-5-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3-triazole (871 mg; 4.20 mmol), prepared as described in example 6, and thionyl chloride (400 ml; 5.46 mmol) in benzene (14 ml) was heated under reflux for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was kept under stirring at room temperature overnight, thionyl chloride and benzene were evaporated and the resultant crude compound was collected several times with benzene. After evaporation of the solvent, the crude compound was purified by chromatography on silica gel (230-400 mesh), eluent methylene chloride:acetone=95:5, giving the title compound (m.p. 70°-71° C.).
