Participants

Reaction Steps

To the solution of 1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-cyano-4-trifluoromethylsulfenyl-5-hydroxypyrazole (7.00 g, 16.6 mmol) and pyridine (4.91 g, 62.1 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane at room temperature was added trimethylacetyl chloride (4.37 g, 36.2 mmol) dropwise. Ice bath was used to maintain the temperature of the reaction. After 20 hr at room temperature, the organic layer was washed five times with aqueous KHSO4 till the aqueous solution was at pH 1. The organic layer was then dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give a solid residue. Upon chromatographic purification via silica gel column of the solid residue, after trituration with pentane, a off-white solid (2.403 g, 28.6% yield, 97.0% HPLC purity) was provided as the desired product, m. p. 82-83 C.
