Trityl chloride → N-[2-(1-methyl-5-triphenylmethylaminopyrazol-4-yl)ethyl]formamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[2-(5-amino-1-methylpyrazol-4-yl)ethyl]formamide (2.7 g, 16 mmol) and triethylamine (2.5 ml, 17.6 mmol) in methylene chloride (50 ml) was added triphenylmethyl chloride (5.2 g, 17.6 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was washed with successively 10% aqueous citric acid solution and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with diisopropyl ether and dried in vacuo to give N-[2-(1-methyl-5-triphenylmethylaminopyrazol-4-yl)ethyl]formamide (4.7 g) as a colorless solid.
