Reaction Steps

To a suspension wherein 5-amino-3-cyano-1-(6-fluoro-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-5-yl)pyrazole (900 mg, 2.85 mmol), sodium trifluoromethanesulfinate (890 mg, 5.70 mmol) and dimethylamine tosylate (1.550 g, 7.13 mmol) are in toluene (5 ml), thionyl chloride (678 mg, 5.70 mmol) was added dropwise under ice cooling over a period of about 10 minutes and stirred at 50 to 60° C. for 10 hours. After allowing time to cool, the reaction solution was poured into water, extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 340 mg of 5-amino-3-cyano-1-(6-fluoro-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-5-yl)-4-trifluoromethylsulfenylpyrazole.
