1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → HCID 178521918, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(difluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2.0 g) and 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (2.0 g) were mixed in THF (20mL, anhydrous) and stirred for 1 h. 2-Cyclohexylaniline (2.2 g) was added, and the contents were heated at reflux for 2 h. After cooling to RT, the contents were concentrated in vacuo leaving a foam (3.7 g). The foam was chromatographed on silica gel (Waters Prep 500) eluting with EtOAc and hexanes to give the desired amide as a white foam (750 mg). The foam was crystallized from EtOAc /pentane to give the product as a white solid (510 mg).
