1-(2,4-Difluorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone → 3-(4,5-dichloropyrimidin-6-yl)-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of LDA (13.6 mmol) in THF (50 ml) (prepared by a similar method to that used in Example 1) at -70° C. was added dropwise 4,5-dichloro-6-ethylpyrimidine (the product of part (ii)) (2.37 g, 13.3 mmol) and the resulting solution was stirred at this temperature for 10 minutes. A solution of 1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethanone (2.97 g, 13.3 mmol) in THF (50 ml) was added to the reaction mixture at such a rate so as to maintain the reaction temperature below -50° C. After stirring at -70° C. for 1 hour and at -50° C. for a further 1 hour the reaction was quenched by the addition of 10% aqueous acetic acid (11 ml).
