[2,6-Dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]hydrazine → Methyl 1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3,5-diethylpyrazole4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7.5 g (40 mmol) of the compound of step A and 11.85 g (48 mmol) of 2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl hydrazine in 50 mL of ethanol was heated at reflux for 8 hours. The ethanol was removed by evaporation and the residues were partitioned between ethyl acetate and dilute hydrogen chloride. The organic extracts were dried and evaporated to give the desired product in 43% yield as a maroon oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ1.08 (3H, t, J=7), 1.24 (3H, t, J=7), 2.22 (2H, q, J=7), 2.94 (2H, q, J=7), 3.86 (3H, s), 7.46 (2H, s).
