Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-amino-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (6.4 g, 40 mmole) and diiodomethane (200 g) was cooled to −10° C. Isoamyl nitrite (24 mL, 180 mmole) was added via a syringe over 30 minutes. The mixture was allowed to warm up to ambient temperature and then stirred at 100° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 mL) and washed with 0.5 M aqueous sodium metasulfite solution (2×70 mL), 1 N HCl and brine. The organic solution was dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product was purified on a silica gel column eluting with 15% ethyl acetate in hexane to provide the title compound. MS (DCI) m/e 266.9 (M+H)+, 283.9 (M+NH4)+.
