Water → 5-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.0 g of 5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole in 20 ml of acetic acid at 10° C., was added 1.2 g of chromic anhydride. After stirring at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was poured into iced water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with a saturatedaqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and then with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography to afford 1.7 g of 5-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole.
