Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-tert-butyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-amine (500 g, 3.26 mmol) and pyridine (0.310 ml, 3.92 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (11 ml) was added 2,2,2-trichloroethyl chloroformate (0.542 ml, 3.92 mmol) with ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Water was poured into the reaction solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to give 925 mg (86.5%) of the desired product as an oil.
