1-(2-Chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl)-3,5-dimethyl-
1H-pyrazole (IId). Zinc dust, 0.4 g (6 mmol), was
added to a solution of 1 g (4 mmol) of compound Id in
10 ml of ethanol. The mixture was stirred for 4 h on
heating under reflux. Unreacted zinc was filtered off
and washed with alcohol, the filtrate was combined
with the washings and evaporated almost to dryness.
A mixture of 15 ml of hexane and 5 ml of 5% hydro-
chloric acid was added to the residue, the aqueous
phase was separated, the organic phase was washed
with water (3×20 ml), dried over MgSO4, and evap-
orated, and the residue was distilled under reduced
pressure. Yield 0.54 g (64%), bp. 70–72°C (20 mm).
1H NMR spectrum (CDCl3), δ, ppm: 2.27 s (3H, CH3),
2.42 s (3H, CH3), 5.66 s (1H, 4-H), 6.25 d.t (1H,
was added to a solution of 10 mmol of compound Іa–
Id in 15 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride, and
a solution of 2.48 g (10 mmol) of tris(diethylamino)-
phosphine in 10 ml of anhydrous methylene chloride
was added dropwise under vigorous stirring over
a period of 30 min (the temperature of the reaction
mixture should not exceed 25°C). The mixture was
stirred for 40 min and evaporated under reduced pres-
sure. The residue was slowly added to 110–120°C on
an oil bath with simultaneous isolation of the target
products by vacuum distillation. cis/trans Isomer
ratio ~1:1.

in 10 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran was added to
0.17 g (7 mmol) of activated magnesium. The mixture
was stirred for 2 h at 50°C, the solvent was distilled off
under reduced pressure, and the product was extracted
