Isoamyl Nitrite → Ethyl 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 5-amino-1-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrazole-4-carboxylate (15 g) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) and isoamyl nitrite (21.2 g) was added. The mixture was stirred at a refluxing temperature for 2 h. After cooling, the precipitated crystals were recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate-n-hexane to give the title compound (10.6 g).
