1H-1,2,4-Triazole → 4-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

30 g (0.09 mole) of 1-bromo-4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, 12.4 g (0.18 mole) of 1,2,4-triazole and 24.8 g (0.18 mole) of potassium carbonate in 300 ml of acetone are heated under reflux for 6 hours. The mixture is then allowed to cool, the solid is filtered off with suction and the mother liquor is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is taken up in methylene chloride, and the solution is washed with water, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue is recrystallised from diethyl ether. 12.8 g (45.6% of theory) of 4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-butanone of melting point 85° C. are obtained.
