1-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluorobutane-1,3-dione → 5-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-7-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(3,4-Dichloro-phenyl)-4,4,4-trifluoro-butane-1,3-dione (1.00 g, 3.51 mmol) and 5-amino-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid (0.446 g, 3.51 mmoL) in acetic acid (100 mL) was heated at reflux for 48 hours. The reaction concentrated under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give 5-(3,4-dichloro-phenyl)-7-trifluoromethyl-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-2-carboxylic acid (1.20 g, 90%).
