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

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.0 g of 5-(4 chlorobenzyl)-3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole in 10 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide at 0° C. was added 0.13 g of 60% sodiumhydride. After stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes, 0.42 g of methyl iodide added dropwise to the solution at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour and then at room temperature for 2 hours, poured into iced water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography to afford 1.0 g of 5-(4-chloro-α-methylbenzyl)-3-(2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl)-1-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole.
