Procedure
A mixture of 3-[3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)thioureido]-1-(2-cyanoethyl)pyrazole (2.8 g.), yellow mercuric oxide (4.0 g.), methanol (100 ml.) and saturated ethanolic ammonia solution (10 ml.) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue partitioned between ether and water. The ether phase was dried and evaporated to give 3-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)guanidino]-1-(2-cyanoethyl)pyrazole characterised as the hydrogen maleate, m.p. 141°-142° after recrystallisation from acetone.
