Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (0.73 g) was added to a stirred solution of 4-cyclopropylcarbonyl-S-(4-pentafluorosulphanylphenyl)isoxazole (Compound 2, 0.4 g) in dichloromethane. After 16 hours the solution was washed (2M hydrochloric acid), dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane to give a residue which was suspended in dichloromethane and shaken with hydrochloric acid until dissolved. The organic phase was evaporated and triturated with hexane to give 2-cyano-3-cyclopropyl-1-(4-pentafluorosulphanylphenyl)propan-1,3-dione as a white solid (Compound 3, m.p.108-110° C.
