Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL 3-necked round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen, was placed 1H-pyrazole (422 mg, 6.21 mmol, 1.50 equiv), sodium hydroxide (248 mg, 6.20 mmol, 1.50 equiv), and N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL). The mixture was stirred and heated to 80° C. for 30 min, then to this was added 4-fluorobenzonitrile (500 mg, 4.13 mmol, 1.00 equiv). The resulting solution was stirred for 3 h at 110° C. in an oil bath. The resulting solution was diluted with 50 mL of H2O. The solids were collected by filtration and dried in an oven. The product was obtained as 0.43 g (62%) of a white solid.
