Participants

Reaction Steps

3.0 g of 3-chloro-2-(4-chloro-3-dimethoxymethylphenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-pyridine, 5.4 g of dimethyl L(+)-tartrate and 100 mg of p-toluenesulfonic acid in 180 ml of anhydrous toluene were refluxed for 10 hours. The solution was cooled and then washed with 50 ml of 10% by weight sodium bicarbonate solution and three times with 50 ml of water each time, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. Chromatography on silica gel resulted in 3.0 g (77%) of colorless crystals; melting point: 48°-53° C.
