Hexachloroethane → HCID 71226687, compound

Temperature

-78 °C

To a round bottom flask was added 3-(oxazol-5-yl)benzonitrile (1.93 gm, 11.34 mmol) and THF (45 mL). The reaction was cooled to −78° C. and 2.5 M nBuLi (4.99 mL, 12.48 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction turned deep red color. After 30 min, a solution of hexachloroethane (4.03 gm, 17.01 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was slowly added. The reaction was slowly warmed to rt over 30 min. After 1 h at rt the reaction was quenched by slow addition of sat. NH4Cl (20 mL). The mixture was concentrated to remove most of the THF. The mixture was then partitioned between EtOAc (40 mL) and water (20 mL). The organic phase was isolated, washed with saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified using silica gel chromatography eluting with a gradient of 0-100% EtOAc/Hexanes to give the product, 3-(2-chlorooxazol-5-yl)benzonitrile, (1.01 gm, 4.94 mmol, 44% yield) as a white solid. Anal. Calcd. for C10H5ClN2O m/z 204.0, found: 205.0 (M+H)+.
