Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

24.6 g (0.1 mol) of 3,6-dichloro-2-hydrazino-5-trifluoromethylpyridine were added to a mixture of 12.2 g (0.1 mol) of ethoxymethylenemalononitrile and 200 ml of ethanol with stirring at 20° C. and it was stirred at 78° C. for 10 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was taken up in methylene chloride. It was extracted 3× with water and the organic phase separated off was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered off with suction through neutral alumina and then concentrated under reduced pressure. After stirring in ether/pentane, 13.3 g (41.3% of theory) of the title compound of m.p. 168-171° C. were obtained (Active Compound Example No. 2a.002).
