Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 108 g (0.05 mol) of 1-ethyl-3-methyl-4-nitro-pyrazole-5-carbonyl chloride [J. Med. Chem. 16 1346 (1973)] in 100 ml of acetone is added at a fast droprate to 450 ml cold concentrated ammonium hydroxide with stirring. After one hour, the mixture is filtered; the product is washed with water to give 94 g (95%) of 1-ethyl-3-methyl-4-nitropyrazole-5-carboxamide, mp 175°-177° C.
