Thionyl Chloride → HCID 66958824, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-ethyl-5-(2-phthalimidoethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (8.5 g, 27.2 mmol) and thionyl chloride (20 mL) in toluene (40 mL) was heated at reflux for five hours, allowed to cool to ambient temperature, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in chloroform and made basic with the addition of 2 M sodium carbonate. The aqueous layer was separated at extracted with chloroform (4×), and the combined organic fractions were washed with brine. The brine was extracted with chloroform (4×). The combined organic fractions were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product (8.08 g) was purified by chromatography on a HORIZON HPFC system (65I cartridge, eluting with chloroform/CMA in a gradient from 100:0 to 80:20) to provide 7.73 g of 1-ethyl-5-(2-phthalimidoethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile as a white solid.
