Reaction Steps

The above thiourea (12.5 g.) was dissolved in 8 M ammonia in EtOH (120 ml.). Mercuric oxide (12.8 g.) was added and the mixture was stirred at 20° for 30 minutes. The resulting mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 5-[3-(2-[2,2,2-trifluoroethyl]guanidino)pyrazol-1-yl]valeronitrile as an oil. A sample of the oil was dissolved in acetone and 5 molecular equivalents of maleic acid was added. Ether was added to the resulting clear solution to produce the crystalline maleate, m.p. 123°-125°.
