Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-hydrazino-4-methyl-benzoic acid hydrochloride 2 (242 mg, 1.19 mmol, 1.0 eq) in 25 mL of ethanol was added 2-benzoyl-3-phenylamino-acrylonitrile 4 (296 mg, 1.19 mmol, 1.0 eq, preparation: Grothasu, Davis, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 58, 1334 (1936)) and triethylamine (161 μL, 1.19 mmol, 1.0 eq) and the mixture was heated to 65° C. All solids dissolved when temperature reached 65° C. After three hours, LC-MS indicates consumption of the hydrazine. The solids were filtered to provide 3-(5-amino-4-benzoyl-pyrazol-1-yl)-4-methyl-benzoic acid 5 (95 mg, 25%) as a beige solid: HPLC (4 minute gradient) tR 2.10 min;
