1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → 5-chloro-1-methyl-N-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Carbonyldiimidazole (3.6 grams, 0.022 mole) was added to a solution of 5-chloro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2.4 grams, 0.015 mole) in 40 ml. of tetrahydrofuran, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for twenty minutes. Cyclopropylamine (1.3 grams, 0.022 mole) was then added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for sixteen hours. Solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was taken up in 250 ml. of chloroform, washed with water, washed with saturated brine, and dried using sodium sulfate and filter paper. The product was recrystallized from toluene, yielding 3.5 grams of 5-chloro-1-methyl-N-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide, mp=105°-107° C.
