Reference of 6306-60-1, In the chemical reaction process, reaction time, type of solvent, can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product. An updated downstream synthesis route of 6306-60-1 as follows.

A. 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanenitrile Slurry 2,4-dichlorophenylacetonitrile (I) (5.0 g, 26.9 mmol, 186.04 g/mol) in ethyl trifluoroacetate (6.4 mL, 7.6 g, 142.08 g/mol) and add 20 mL anhydrous THF. Portionwise at ambient temperature add NaH (1.88 g, 47.1 mmol, 60% in mineral oil) over 5 minutes. Heat reaction to reflux (90 C. bath temperature) overnight. Evaporate to thick red-brown oil and partition between Et2O (100 mL) and H2O (60 mL). Separate layers and extract H2O with Et2O (2*75 mL). Acidify the aqueous layer with 1.0 N HCl to pH 1 (becomes cloudy white suspension) and extract aqueous layer with CH2Cl2 (3*100 mL). Dry pooled CH2Cl2 layers over Na2SO4, filter and concentrate to yellow oil (7.5 g, 26.5 mmol). Use without further purification. LCMS=281.9 (MH+); 279.8 (M-)
