Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(tert-butyl)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (500 mg, 1.91 mmol) in DMF (4 mL) was added cyanuric chloride (0.267 mL, 1.91 mmol) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 14 hr. Water was added to the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine and dried, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent gradient; 5→50% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 1-(tert-butyl)-5-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (430 mg, 1.77 mmol, 92%) as a white powder.
