Participants

Reaction Steps

A process for preparing fluconazole, including the steps of (1) acylating 1,3-difluorobenzene (DFB) to obtain 2-chloro-2',4'-difluoroacetophenone (CAP); (2) alkylating 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole (4-AT) with CAP to obtain 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2',4'-difluoroacetophenone (TAAP) salt; (3) deaminating TAAP salt to obtain TAAP; and (4) reacting TAAP with 1,2,4-triazole to obtain fluconazole.
