Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of chloroacetyl chloride (2.3 ml, 1.08 equivalents) in anhydrous dichloromethane (30 ml) was added during 30 minutes to a stirred solution of 2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenylhydrazine (6.1 g, 24.89 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (60 ml) maintaining between 5 and 12° C. under an argon atmosphere. The mixture was then stirred for 5-12 hours at 20° C. A solution of sodium hydroxide (11.2 ml of 10%) and dichloromethane were added and the organic phase washed (water), dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated to give the title compound (7.25 g) as a white solid, NMR 4.05(s,2H), 6.77(s,1H), 7.47(s,2H), 8.6(s,1H). The yield was 91%.
