To the stirred solution was added 6.5 kg (132.6 mol) of sodium cyanide and the resulting reaction mixture was heated at 85° C. for 5 hours. The mixture was allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. A thin layer chromatograph in methylene chloride of a sample of the reaction mixture indicated the presence of a small amount of starting material. the reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 2 hours and cooled. The mixture was charged with 18 kg (232 mol) of 40% aqueous methylamine. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and 40 l. of ice water was added. The mixture was stirred at about 10° C. for one hour using a cooling jacket and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. The solid was washed with water several times and dried to provide 12.4 kg of 5-cyano-1-phenyl-N-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide. Yield 82.7%. Purity of this material by HPLC was 98.14%. mp=203°-205° C.
