Reaction Steps

By the method of Example 1, Step I, 0.50 g (0.0019 mole) of 1-(2-fluoro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-difluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-5(1H)-one (Example 1, Step E) and 0.87 g (0.0038 mole) of methyl 2-(4-chloromethylphenoxy)propionate were reacted in the presence of 0.2 g of 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane in 25 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide, yielding 0.80 g of methyl 2-[4-[4-(4-difluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-5(1H)-on-1-yl)-3-fluorophenoxy-methyl]phenoxy]propionate as a colorless oil that solidified upon standing, m.p. 83°-85° C. The NMR and IR spectra were consistent with the proposed structure. NMR: 1.60 (d, 3H, JHH=8.0 Hz); 2.44 (s, 3H); 3.76 (s, 3H); 4.78 (q, 1H, JHH=8.0 Hz); 4.90 (s, 2H); 6.78-7.38 (m, 8H).
