Methylamine → 1H-Pyrazole-4-carboxamide, 5-bromo-N-methyl-1-phenyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Three grams of 5-bromo-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid and 2.6 g of carbonyldiimidazole were dissolved in 50 ml of dimethylformamide. The mixture was allowed to stir for 20 minutes and 7 ml of 40% aqueous methylamine was added to the reaction mixture. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature and poured into ice water. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration and recrystallized from ethanol/water to afford 1.3 g of 5-bromo-1-phenyl-N-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide. Yield 42%. mp=157°-159° C.
