Thionyl Chloride → 2-(2-Chloro-phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-2H-pyrazole-3-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 10.65 g of 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid and 8 ml of thionyl chloride heated to reflux for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, concentrated under reduced pressure, and subjected to distillation under reduced pressure (110° C./5 mmHg) to obtain 8.39 g of 1-(2-chlorophenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carbonyl chloride of the formula:
