Participants

Reaction Steps

The 1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-(2-chloro-2-cyanoethyl)-3-trifluoromethylthio-4-cyano-5-chloropyrrole prepared above was dissolved in 125 mL of toluene and treated with 1.65 mL (1.68 g, 11.1 mmoles) of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ether, washed with water, dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and concentrated to give 4.84 g (98%) of 1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-(2-cyanoethenyl)-3-trifluoromethylthio-4-cyano-5-chloropyrrole as a yellow solid.
