4-Fluorophenol → HCID 23042740, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.0 g of 2-tert-butyl-2-[1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethyl]-oxirane, 6.4 g of 4-fluorophenol and 0.1 g of lithium hydroxide hydrate in 10 ml of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is heated for 18 hours to 150° C. After it has cooled, the reaction mixture is poured into ice-water and extracted with ether. The organic phase is washed with water and a saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried and concentrated. Chromatography over silica gel with a 3:1 mixture of ethyl acetate/toluene as eluant yields 11.0 g of 1-(4-fluorophenoxy)-2-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane with a melting point of 85°-100° C. (compound 18).
