Trichloroacetonitrile → 3,5-diamino-N-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-pyridyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-cyano-N-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-pyridyl]acetamide 8 (1.6 g, 6.170 mmol) in ethanol (40 mL) was added sodium acetate (1.052 g, 12.83 mmol), followed by trichloroacetonitrile (1.042 g, 733.8 μL, 7.219 mmol) dropwise. The heterogeneous mixture was stirred at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 18h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum, and the residue was dissolved in NMP (30 mL). Hydrazine hydrate (803 mg, 780.4 mL, 16.04 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The solvents were removed under vacuum and the residue triturated in DCM to form a brown solid which was isolated by filtration to provide 3,5-diamino-N-[4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-pyridyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide 9 (1 g, 51%). MS (ES+) 317.1.
