Azobisisobutyronitrile → 3-(4-Bromomethyl-3-fluorophenyl)-5-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a solution of 1.50 g of 5-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-3-(3-fluoro-4-methylphenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-4,5-dihydroisoxazole synthesized from 3-fluoro-4-methylphenylaldoxime and 3,5-dichloro-1-(1-trifluoromethylethenyl)benzene similarly to Step 2 of Synthetic Example 3 in 50 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane, 0.68 g of N-bromosuccinic acid imide and a catalytic amount of azobisisobutyronitrile were added, and stirred under nitrogen atmosphere and under reflux with heat for 1 hour. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was left and cooled to room temperature, poured in 50 ml of water, extracted with chloroform (50 ml×1). The organic phase was dehydrated with saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain crude aimed product as pale yellow oily substance. The resulting product was used as such without purification for the next step.
