Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In an autoclave, 10 g of 5-chloro-3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde were dissolved in 150 ml of ethanol, and 10.4 g of triethylamine and 500 mg of 5% palladium on calcium carbonate were added. The autoclave was flushed with nitrogen and subsequently pressurised to 5 bar hydrogen. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 30° C. for 4 h. After filtration of the catalyst, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the product was obtained as a solid (7.4 g) having a melting point of 46-47° C.
