Pentanenitrile, 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxo- → ethyl 3-(5-amino-3-t-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1-naphthoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-hydrazinonaphthalene-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester hydrochloride (1.5 g, 5.6 mmol) and 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxopentanenitrile (875 mg, 7.0 mmol) in EtOH (50 mL) and conc. HCl (5 mL) was heated at reflux overnight. After removal of the solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography to yield ethyl 3-(5-amino-3-t-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1-naphthoate (1.8 g, 95% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 8.74 (d, J=6.3 Hz, 1H), 8.47 (s, 1H), 8.24 (s, 1H), 8.15 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 1H), 7.76 (t, J=5.7 Hz, 1H), 7.71 (t, J=5.7 Hz, 1H), 5.68 (s, 1H), 4.44 (q, J=5.4 Hz, 2H), 1.37 (t, J=5.4 Hz, 3H), 1.30 (s, 9H).
