Trimethyl orthoformate → HCID 54467348, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-amino-4-cyano-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-methylpyrazole (5 g) and p-toluenesulphonic acid hydrate (0.1 g) in trimethylorthoformate (20 ml) was heated at reflux for 4.5 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether and left to crystallize at 0° C. The dark colored solid was recrystallized from a mixture of ethanol and water to give 4-cyano-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-3-methyl-5-methoxymethyleneaminopyrazole (4.67 g), m.p. 75°-78° C., in the form of buff crystals.
