Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4 parts of 2,6-dichloro-α-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-(3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-4-methyl-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazin-2(1H)-yl)benzeneacetonitrile, 12 parts of acetic acid anhydride and 36 parts of methylbenzene was stirred for 90 hours at reflux temperature. After cooling, 16 parts of methanol were added. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was stirred in water and the product was extracted with trichloromethane. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel using trichloromethane as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized for ethanol. The precipitated product was filtered off, washed with 2,2'-oxybispropane and dried, yielding 2.0 parts (42.9%) of 1-acetyl-2-[3,5-dichloro-4-[(4-chlorophenyl)cyanomethyl]phenyl]-1,6-dihydro-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione; mp. 178.1° C. (compound 78).
