Dimethylformamide → 3-Chloro-2-(4-chloro-3-propargyloxyphenyl)-5-trifluoromethylpyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.73 g (14.6 mmol) of propargyl bromide were added dropwise to a mixture of 3.00 g (9.74 mmol) of 3-chloro-2-(4-chloro-3-hydroxyphenyl)-5-trifluoromethylpyridine, 4.0 g (29 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 100 ml of anhydrous dimethylformamide. The mixture was stirred at 20°-25° C. for about 15 hours and then poured into 400 ml of water. The solution was kept cold for a few hours, and the resulting crystals were then separated off, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure. Yield: 3.1 g (92%) of colorless crystals of melting point 102°-103° C.
