Acetic Acid → HCID 59637296, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl(1-amino-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)methylcarbamate (2 g, 0.0071 mol) in methanol (15 ml), picolinaldehyde (1.14 g (1 ml), 0.016 mol, 1.5 eq) taken in methanol (5 ml) was added. Then the reaction mixture was acidified with acetic acid (0.2 ml, catalytic) and heated to reflux for 24 hrs. Progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC (10% ethyl acetate/hexane, Rf˜0.4). On completion of the reaction, methanol was distilled off completely. Residue was taken in ice water (200 ml) and the product extracted with ethyl acetate (4×50 ml). Combined extract was washed with water (2×50 ml), dried over sodium sulfate and the ethyl acetate was distilled off completely. Crude obtained was recrystalised from hexane (10 ml) to yield the required product as liquid (2 g, 76% yield).
