Methylamine → 1H-Pyrazole-4-carboxamide, 5-cyano-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-N-methyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.5 g of 5-cyano-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester in 20 ml of DMF was added 20 ml of 40% aqueous monomethylamine. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for approximately two and one-half hours whereupon the solution was poured into ice water. The precipitate was collected by filtration and recrystallized from methanol/water to afford 1.3 g of 5-cyano-1-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-N-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide. MP=182°-183° C.
