Participants

Reaction Steps

The I'-B isomer (2 g) of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazole-1-yl)-pentene-3-ol (Compound No. 1) was dissolved in dimethylformamide (20 cc), and 65% sodium hydride (0.26 g) was added thereto. After stirring at room temperature for 1 hour, the reaction mixture was cooled to 10° C., and methyl iodide (1 g) was added. The reaction mixture was kept at 10° C. for 1 hour and then allowed to stand at room temperature for 16 hours. Dimethylformamide was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was extracted with addition of ice water (100 g) and chloroform (100 cc). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (acetone:n-hexane=1:10) to obtain 1.0 g of the entitled compound as an oily product.
