HCID 23503591, compound → 5-(2,3,4-Trimethoxy-6-methylbenzoyl)-3-acetyl-2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

10 g of manganese dioxide was added to a toluene (80 ml) solution of 2.3 g (5 mmol) of (2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylphenyl)(2,6-dichloro-5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-4-trifluoromethyl-3-pyridyl)methanol obtained in step (a), followed by stirring under reflux by heating for 1 hour. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and then subjected to filtration, and toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure. The crude product thus obtained was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain 1.5 g (yield 66%) of 5-(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylbenzoyl)-3-acetyl-2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylpyridine (compound No. 62; m.p. 109-112° C.).
