Reaction Steps

To a 500 ml, four-necked flask equipped with an overhead stirrer, a thermocouple and a condenser was charged with 4-((5-amino-3-ethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methyl)benzonitrile (26) (12.8 g, 56.5 mmol), pentane-2,4-dione (6.8 g, 67.9 mmol, 1.2 eq), 20 ml of HOAc and 40 ml of concentrated HCl. The mixture was stirred at 110° C. for 43 hours. It was cooled to room temperature and 300 ml of water was added. Slowly, the solution became a suspension. It was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration and the solid was washed with water. The solid was vacuum oven dried at 50° C. for 5 h.
