Pyridine → 4-Phenyl-2-indanyl cis-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 0.25 g (0.0012 mole) of 4-phenyl-2-indanol and 0.11 g (0.0014 mole) of pyridine in 10 ml of toluene was cooled to 5° C., and a solution of 0.28 g (0.0011 mole) of cis-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarbonyl chloride, prepared in accordance with Example 8, in 5 ml of toluene was added portionwise. Upon complete addition the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to a residual oil. The oil was placed on a silica gel pad, and the product was eluted with 50 ml of 1:1 hexane:toluene. The eluate was concentrated under reduced pressure at 100°-115° C./0.02 mm using a Kugelrohr distilling system to give 0.12 g of 4-phenyl-2-indanyl cis-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propenyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate. The nmr spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
