Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled solution of 5-tert-butyl-2-methyl-2H-pyrazol-3-ylamine (0.50 g, 3.26 mmol) and pyridine (0.27 mL, 3.29 mmol) in THF (THF, 10 mL) is added 2,2,2-trichloroethyl chloroformate (0.44 mL, 3.29 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and then warmed to room temperature for 2 hours. Then the reaction mixture is distributed between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The aqueous phase is extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined organic phases are washed with saturated NaCl (2×50 mL) and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removal of solvent, the residue is purified on a silica gel chromatography by washing with ethyl acetate to provide a white solid (0.83 g, 78%, ES+(m/z) 329.9 [M+H]).
