Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(4-acetoxymethyl-3-chlorophenyl)-3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (11.1 g) is dissolved in a mixed solvent of ethanol (50 ml) and water (20 ml), added with sodium hydroxide (2.3 g) and heated under reflux for 1 hour with stirring. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture is added with ethyl acetate and washed with water. Then, it is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain crude solid. The crude solid is washed with mixed solvent of hexane-ethanol to give 6.7 g of desired compound (melting point: 111°-113° C.).
