Water → 1-Acetyl-4-chloro-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.35 g (0.003 mol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 1.55 ml (0.011 mol) of triethylamine are added to 2.55 g (0.01 mol) of 4-chloro-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-pyrazole dissolved in 30 ml of THF. A solution of 0.85 g (0.011 mol) of acetyl chloride in 10 ml of THF is run, dropwise and at 0° C., onto this solution. Stirring is continued for 2 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture is poured into 100 ml of water and extracted with ethyl acetate. After drying the organic phase and concentration under vacuum, the residue is triturated with 50 ml of heptane, filtered and dried. We obtain 2.80 g of 1-acetyl-4-chloro-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)pyrazole, melting at 125° C.
