1H-1,2,4-Triazole → 4-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

30 g (0.09 mol) of 1-bromo-4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, 12.4 g (0.18 mol) of 1,2,4-triazole and 24.8 g (0.18 mol) of potassium carbonate are heated under reflux in 300 ml of acetone for 6 hours. The mixture is then allowed to cool and is filtered with suction and the mother liquor is concentrated in vacuo. The residue is taken up in methylene chloride and the mixture is washed with water, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is recrystallized from diethyl ether. 12.8 g (45.6% of theory of 4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanone of melting point 85° C. are obtained. ##STR10##
