Heptafluorobutyric acid → HCID 178506335, compound

To a solution of 4,5-dichloro-2-nitroaniline (20 g, 96.61 mmol) in DMSO (200 ml) was added 2,4-dichlorophenol (15.8 g, 96.93 mmol) and potassium carbonate (26.7 g, 193.18 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at 90° C. and then quenched by the addition of water (1000 ml). The resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×500 ml) and the organic layers combined and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solids were filtered out. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum to give a residue, which was purified by a silica gel column with 10%˜20% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to produce 4-chloro-5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitroaniline as a yellow solid (23 g, 71%). Next, the 4-chloro-5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-nitroaniline (22 g, 65.96 mmol) was added to ethanol (200 ml) and hydrogen chloride (16 ml, 197.9 mmol). This was followed by the addition of Zn powder (21.4 g, 395.8 mmol) at room temperature in portions. The resulting solution was stirred for 4 h at 85° C. and then concentrated under vacuum. The residue was dissolved in water (500 ml), adjusted pH to 8 with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (4×200 ml). The combined organic layers were dried and concentrated under reduce pressure to give a residue, which was purified by a silica gel column with 10%˜20% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford 4-chloro-5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)benzene-1,2-diamine as a red oil (15 g, 75%). Finally, a solution of 4-chloro-5-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)benzene-1,2-diamine (14 g, 46.12 mmol) in heptafluorobutanoic acid (150 ml) was stirred overnight at 80° C. in an oil bath. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of water (400 ml), adjusted pH value of the solution to 7 with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue, which was purified by a silica gel column with 2%˜10% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to produce 5-chloro-6-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-(heptafluoropropyl)-1H-1,3-benzodiazole as a white solid (10.4705 g, 47%).
