Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetic anhydride (431 μL, 4.4 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of methyl 2-[5-amino-3-(3-pyridyl)pyrazol-1-yl]acetate (510 mg, 2.2 mmol) in pyridine (1.7 mL) at 0° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. Upon complete addition, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solid was washed with diethyl ether to provide the title compound as a white solid (430 mg).
