Tetrahydrofuran → N-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolyl)-5-(1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(1-Methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride (295 mg) and THF (3 ml) were added to a mixture of 2-amino-1-methylpyrrole hydrochloride (202 mg), potassium carbonate (553 mg), THF (2 ml) and water (4 ml), followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes. Water was added to the reaction solution, the thus formed product was extracted with ethyl acetate and then the extract was washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid, saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution and water in that order. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; n-hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1-3:2) and then recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and n-hexane to give N-(1-methyl-2-pyrrolyl)-5-(1-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)thiophene-2-carboxamide (126 mg) as light yellow powder crystals.
