Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 0.5 g (0.0013 mole) of 2-[2,4-dichloro-5-(4-difluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)phenoxy]propionic acid (Compound A1), 1.0 g (0.0095 mole) of 2-nitro-1-propanol and 0.05 g (0.0003 mole) of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate in 60 mL of toluene was heated at reflux. The water generated in the reaction was removed by collection in a Dean-Stark trap. After refluxing for a total of two hours, the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure leaving a residue. This residue was dissolved in diethyl ether and washed first with water then with an aqueous 10% sodium hydroxide solution. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to yield 0.5 g of 2-nitropropyl 2-[2,4-dichloro-5-(4-difluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)phenoxy]propionate as an oil, Compound B1.
