Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-(1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-yloxy)ethanone oxime 4 (1.085 kg, 3.328 mol) in xylenes (6.9 L) was added hydroquinone (86.2 g, 0.8 mol) at rt. The solution was heated to 128° C. (internal temperature) for 18 h. The solution was cooled to rt, and hexanes (7.0 L) was added, followed by 4.0 M aq. HCl (2.4 L). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h, and filtered. To the solid was added water (2.0 L), methyl tert-butyl ether (7.0 L) and 25% wt. aq. NaOH (0.4 L). The aq, layer was extracted once with methyl tert-butyl ether (7.0 L), the organics were combined, washed with 27% aq. NaCl (2.0 L) and concentrated under vacuum to a black oil 5 (512.0 g, 56%).
