Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g of intermediate 7-a, 8.2 g of methanimidamide monoacetate in 32 ml of methanol was refluxed for 3 days. To the warm reaction mixture there were added 32 ml of water and the resulting mixture was stirred for two hours. The precipitate was filtered off and washed with 2-propanol. The precipitate was dried in vacuo, yielding 3.45 g (67%) of (+)-6-[(4-chlorophenyl)-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzotriazole (comp. 1-e); enantiomeric excess: 97.4%.
