Sulfamyl chloride was synthesized from chlorosulfonyl isocyanate according to the procedure described by R. Graf in Chemische Berichte, p. 509 (1959), which is incorporated herein by reference. A solution of 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-amine prepared as set forth in Example 2 (200 mg, 0.77 mmol), sulfamyl chloride (100 mg, 0.8 mmol) and triethylamine (200 mg, 2 mmol) in benzene (5 ml) and acetonitrile (5 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was stripped in vacuo and residue was treated with water and basified to pH 7 with ammonium hydroxide. The resultant precipitate was purified by chromatography on silica gel using mixtures of ethyl acetate and methanol as eluents. The purified [4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(4-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl]sulfamide thus obtained had m.p. 201-202° C.
