Sodium Hydroxide → 2,2,2-Trichloroethyl 3-tert-butyl-1-P-tolyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-tert-butyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine hydrochloride (2.5 g) in EtOAc (18 ml) was added 2.94 M aqueous NaOH (8 mL) at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 15 min. To the reaction mixture was added 2,2,2-trichloroethyl chlorocarbonate (2.79 g), and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hr. The organic layer was separated and successively washed with brine (10 mL×2), dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with IPE, and the precipitates produced were collected by filtration to give 2,2,2-trichloroethyl[3-tert-butyl-1-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl]carbamate (1.96 g).
