As such, sulfinylation was attempted using CF3SO2Na in the presence of a halogenating agent such as POCl3, SOCl2 or PBr3. <n="35"/>(III) (II)The reaction reagents and conditions tested are provided in Table I below. <n="36"/>Table IUl <n="37"/>The results are provided in Table II below: Table II[0124] The reaction proceeded to the desired product, Fipronil, when SOCl2 or POCl3 were used as halogenating agents. However, PBr3 did not yield the desired product, or at least not in acceptable yield (about 6%~8% (II) in the reaction mixture, according to HPLC). |

Example 6; Sulfinylation of 5-amino-1-[2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1 H- pyrazole-3-carbonitrile with triethylamine hydrochloride, sodium trifluoromethylsulfinate and phosporoxychlorideWithin a 3-neck, 50 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar and a thermometer were placed sodium trifluoromethylsulfinate (8.84 g, 55.0 mmol) and 40 mL dried toluene (6.8 molar equivalents relative to 5-amino-1-[2,6-dichloro-4- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1 H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile) under a nitrogen atmosphere. After cooling to 00C to 5 0C with an ice bath, phosphoroxychloride (9.20 g, 60.0 mmol) was added slowly while keeping the reaction temperature below 5 0C. After complete addi- tion of phosphoroxychloride, triethylamine hydrochloride (10.32g, 75.0 mmol) was added at 5C. After stirring for another 30 min, vacuum dried 5-amino-1-(2,6-dichloro-4- EPO <DP n="27"/>trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-1 H-pyrazole-3-carbonitnle (16.06 g, 50 mmol, 99 % purity) was added at 5 0C, and the reaction mixture was heated to 50 0C within 5 min by a preheated water bath. The temperature of 50 0C was kept for another 6 hours before quenching the reaction with 100 g of 10% NaHCO3 solution. The resulting suspension was diluted with 100 ml. of ethylacetate. After phase separation, the organic layer was analyzed by quantitative HPLC (57.3% yield). |
