Toluene → HCID 19778334, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(2,6-Dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxaldehyde (2 g) and formylmethylene triphenylphosphorane (1.9 g) were heated under reflux in toluene for 4 hours. After removal of the solvent at reduced pressure the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography to give 3-[(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl]-2-propanol, m.p. 68°-69°. This compound (1.8 g) was than stirred with diaminomaleonitrile (0.6 g) in methanol containing a trace of p-toluenesulphonic acid for 4 hours. Removal of the solvent at reduced pressure and column chromatography gave 2-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-4-[3-(2-amino-1,2-dicyanoethenylimino)-2-propenyl]-2H-1,2,3-triazole, m.p. 207°-209°.
