Phosphorus pentachloride → N-(4-bromophenyl)-2-chloro-6-fluorobenzenecarbohydrazonoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2E)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(2-chloro-6-fluorobenzylidene) hydrazine (0.300 g, 1.32 mmol) in benzene (10 mL) was added PCl5 (0.330 g, 1.58 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 18 h. The reaction mass was quenched in water, neutralized with NaHCO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated to afford 0.110 g of the desired product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 7.17 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 7.41 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 3H), 7.45-7.61 (m, 2H), 10.26 (s, 1H). MS (m/z): 361.34 (M−H)−.
