Reaction Steps

0.95 g of trimethylsulfonium iodide and 0.52 g of potassium hydroxide were dissolved in 4 ml of acetonitrile, and agitated for 10 minutes at 60° C. in a nitrogen gas atmosphere. 1.00 g of 4-(3-trifluoromethyl-3H-diazirine-3-yl)benzaldehyde were added together with 5.3 ml of acetonitrile, then 0.02 g of water were added. This was agitated for one hour at 60° C. in a nitrogen gas atmosphere. After extracting with ethyl ether, the resulting substance was washed twice with water and once with saturated saline solution, then dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the resulting substance was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:chloroform=1:2, V/V) to obtain 0.56 g of 3-(4-oxiranylphenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-3H-diazirine (52% yield).
