Hydrochloric Acid → N-methoxymethyl-3-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyloxy)-5-methylpyrazole-1-carbothioamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (0.23 g, 1.7 mmol) and methoxymethyl isothiocyanate (0.16 g, 1.5 mmol) were added to a solution of 3-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyloxy)-5-methylpyrazole (0.47 g, 1.5 mmol) in ethyl acetate (10 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was poured into 2N hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate (10 ml×3). An organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered to remove a desiccant, and the solvent was distilled off from the filtrate under reduced pressure. The resultant crude product was purified with a silica gel column (ethyl acetate/hexane=1/10), to give a white solid of N-methoxymethyl-3-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyloxy)-5-methylpyrazole-1-carbothioamide (0.29 g, yield: 46.7%). mp: 95-96° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3, TMS, ppm): δ 2.82 (d, J=0.6 Hz, 3H), 3.41 (s, 3H), 5.10 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 5.91 (q, J=0.6 Hz, 1H), 7.68 (s, 2H), 8.80-9.20 (m, 1H).
