Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere, triethylamine (17.9 g, 177 mmol) was added to a slurry of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (7.0 g, 41.4 mmol) in dichloromethane (70 mL). The mixture was cooled in an ice bath and then a solution of trifluoroacetic anhydride (15.6 g, 74.2 mmol) in dichloromethane (70 mL) was added over a period of 10 minutes. All of the solids dissolved to provide a cloudy solution. After 1 hour additional triethylamine (70.6 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was cooled in an ice bath. Trifluoroacetic anhydride (35.3 mmol) was added neat over a period of 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes then the ice bath was removed and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with 2 M aqueous sodium carbonate (100 mL) and water (100 mL) then extracted with chloroform (×3). The extracts were combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 11.5 g of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-methyl-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile a brown oil.
