Procedure

N-[3-[3-(dimethylamino) 1-oxo-2-propenyl]phenyl]-N-ethylacetamide (5.2 g, 0.02 mol) and 3-amino-4-cyanopyrazole (2.16 g, 0.02 mol) were dissolved in the mixture of water (50 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (40 ml) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 5° C. and the precipitate was removed by filtration. The filtrate was neutralized by concentrated aqueous ammonia solution to precipitate 380 mg of the mixture of zaleplon and its regioisomer 5 which was collected by filtration. The filtrate was extracted with 100 ml of ethylacetate to give 100 mg of the mixture of the above two compounds upon evaporation. The two crops combined were put to a silica gel column (100 g) and the elution was performed by the solvent mixture of chloroform and acetone 3:1 (v/v) to yield as a second crop 240 mg (4%) of 5; mp 194-196° C.; 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ (ppm) 1.143 (t, 3H), 1.876 (s, 3H), 3.804 (q, 2H), 7.361 (d, 1H), 7.532 (d, 1H), 7.613 (t, 1H), 8.018 (s, 1H), 8.159 (d, 1H), 8.375 (s, 1H), 8.805 ((d, 1H); 13C-NMR(CDCl3) δ (ppm) 12.89, 22.68, 43.84, 83.17, 107.71, 112.84, 127.17, 127.48, 130.62, 131.63, 136.67, 137.46, 144.10, 148.31, 149.99, 158.60, 169.90; MS (EI, 70 EV) m/z (%) 305 (M+, 18), 248 (59).
