Chlorine → 4-(Chloromethyl)-5-(difluoromethoxy)-1-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.00 g (4.35 mmol) of 5-difluoromethoxy-1,4-dimethyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole in 10 ml of carbon tetrachloride was added 0.55 g (6.52 mmol) of sodium hydrogen carbonate, followed by heating and refluxing under stirring. The reaction solution was externally irradiated with a light and chlorine gas was introduced in a suitable amount while the amount of the aimed compound formed was confirmed by gas chromatography. After the completion of the reaction, a gas chromatographic analysis was conducted to confirm that 4-chloromethyl-5-difluoromethoxy-1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazole was formed in an amount of 61.7%.
