Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Amino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-amino-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (200 mg, 1.850 mmol), copper(II) acetate (504 mg, 2.78 mmol), phenylboronic acid (451 mg, 3.70 mmol) and pyridine (0.599 mL, 7.40 mmol) were stirred in DCM (20 mL) at room temperature overnight. 2 N HCl was added and the products extracted in EtOAc (×2). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by MPLC (2-30% EtOAc-hexanes) gave 3-anilino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (A) as a yellow solid and 3-amino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (B) as a pale yellow solid. 5-amino-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile was also isolated.
