Participants

Reaction Steps

7-Chloro-1-hydroxy-2-(difluorochloromethyl)-1H-imidazo-(4,5-b)pyridine is reacted with ammonium hydroxide to obtain 7-amino-1-hydroxy-2-(difluorochloromethyl)-1H-imidazo(4,5-b)pyridine which is oxidized to the corresponding 7-nitro-1-hydroxy-2-(difluorochloromethyl)-1H-imidazo(4,5-b)pyridine. Also, the 7-amino-1-hydroxy-2-(difluorochloromethyl)-1H-imidazo(4,5-b)pyridine is treated with sodium nitrite and subsequently sodium cyanide to obtain the corresponding 7-cyano-1-hydroxy-2-(difluorochloromethyl)-1H-imidazo(4,5-b)pyridine. On treatment with 70 percent sulphuric acid the corresponding 7-carboxy-1-hydroxy-2-(difluorochloromethyl)-1H-imidazo(4,5-b)pyridine is prepared. On further treatment with SF4 and HF, there is obtained 7-(trifluoromethyl)-1-hydroxy-2-(difluorochloromethyl)-1H-imidazo(4,5-b)pyridine.
