A solution of 2,4-difluorobenzonitrile (7.07 g, 50.8 mmol) and 3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (4.22 g, 50.8 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (45 ml) was treated with powdered anhydrous potassium carbonate (10 g) and the resulting mixture was stirred at 22 C. for 18 h. The solid was then filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The mixture containing the 2 and 4-triazolyl-benzonitriles was purified by a combination of chromatography on silica gel (elution gradient of ethyl acetate in hexane) and on reversed phase silica gel to give 1.86 g (18% yield) of Intermediate 5 and 0.526 g (5% yield) of Intermediate 6. Intermediate 5 4-Fluoro-2-(3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile: White crystals (ethyl acetate/hexanes); mp 117-118 C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta: 8.82 (1H, s), 7.84 (1H, dd, J=5.6, 8.6 Hz), 7.62 (1H, dd, J=2.5, 9.1 Hz), 7.24 (1H, m), 2.54 (3H, s). Anal. Calcd for C10H7FN4: C, 59.40; H, 3.49; N, 27.71. found: C, 59.25; H, 3.32; N, 27.81. Intermediate 6 4-fluoro-2-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile: White crystals (ethyl acetate-hexane); mp 120-121 C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta: 8.06 (1H, s), 7.91 (1H, dd, J=5.5, 8.6 Hz), 7.39 (1H, m), 7.30 (1H, dd, J=2.5, 8.1 Hz), 2.56 (3H, s). Anal. Calcd for C10H7FN4: C, 59.4; H, 3.49; N, 27.71. found: C, 59.35; H, 3.70; N, 27.77.
