Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Cyano-2-hydroxy-1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)aminothiocarbonylpropene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7.0 grams of 5-methyl-4-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)aminothiocarbonylisoxazole and 5 ml of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene in 50 ml of ethanol was heated at 80° C. for 8 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and acidified with 6N hydrochloric acid solution until pH 2. The mixture was then cooled in an ice-water bath for 30 minutes and the solid was filtered, washed with a chilled solution of ethanol and water (2:1) and dried by suction to provide 5.0 grams of 1-cyano-2-hydroxy-1-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)aminothiocarbonylpropene.
