Triethylamine → 1-Tert-butyl-3-(4-chlorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-oxo-butyronitrile (500 mg, 2 mmol, 1.0 equiv), triethylamine (1.16 mL, 8.3 mmol, 3.2 equiv), and tert-butylhydrazine hydrochloride (1.03 g, 8.3 mmol, 3.2 equiv) in 10 mL of ethanol was heated at 100° C. in a sealed tube. After 4 d, the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via automated flash chromatography (40 g SiO2, gradient from hexanes to ethyl acetate) to afford the product as a yellow oil (610 mg, 70%).
