Diiodomethane → 5-Iodo-1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Amyl nitrite (13.00 g, 111.0 mmol) was added to a suspension of 5-amino-1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (1.77 g, 11.8 mmol) in Diiodomethane (56.0 mL, 695 mmol) at −10° C. in 30 min. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature and then heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was then cooled and concentrated in high vacuum to give a residue which was partitioned between ethyl acetate and 5% Na 2S2O5. The organic layer was washed with water, 0.1% of aq HCl, water, brine, dried and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was purified on silica column eluting with 20-30% ethyl acetate in heptane. Yield 1.68 g (55%). MS (ESI+): 262.2
