18-Crown-6 → HCID 18689507, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

47.3 g (0.175 mol) of 2,5-dichloro-6-propargyloxy-3-trifluoromethylpyridine, 0.5 g (1.89 mmol) of 18-crown-6 and 15.2 g (0.263 mol) of potassium fluoride were added to 150 ml of sulfolane and the mixture was stirred for 5 hours at 150°-155° C. After cooling, the reaction mixture was stirred with methyl tert-butyl ether and separated from the inorganic precipitate. The filtrate was extracted four times using water, dried and concentrated. The residue together with methylene chloride was filtered with suction through a silica gel frit and concentrated, giving 31.4 g (71% of theory) of the title compound of ηD24 =1.4732 (Table III, No. 3.036).
