Participants

Reaction Steps

Carbonyldiimidazole (2.5 grams, 0.015 mole) was added to a solution of 5-cyano-1-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (2.0 grams, 50.01 mole) in DMF. The solution was stirred at room temperature for twenty minutes. Aqueous methylamine (1.5 ml, 0.015 mole) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, then poured into ice-water. The product precipitated and was collected, dried, and recrystallized from ethanol, yielding 1.4 grams of 5-cyano-1-tert-butyl-N-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide, m.p., 164°-166° C.
