Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-buten-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

After adding 2.69 g of toluene to 0.90 g (2.09 mmol) of 1-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxybutan-1-one, 0.50 g (4.19 mmol) of thionyl chloride and 0.33 g (4.19 mmol) of pyridine were added at 80° C., and stirred for 1 hour. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and separated by adding 35 ml of chloroform and 20 ml of water. After washing the organic phase with an aqueous solution of 0.37 g of sodium hydroxide dissolved into 2.0 g of water, the organic phase was washed with an aqueous solution prepared by 0.44 g (4.19 mmol) of 35% hydrochloric acid and 20 ml of water, and then washed with water. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 0.70 g of 1-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)-3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-2-buten-1-one (yield 81.7%).
