Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-(3-nitropyrazol-1-yl)valeramide (3.6 g.) and 3% w/w palladium on carbon (0.54 g.) was stirred in isopropanol (20 ml.) under an atmosphere of hydrogen. The temperature was kept below 40° by external ice cooling. After 4 hours no more hydrogen was absorbed. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 5-(3-aminopyrazol-1-yl)valeramide as an oil which crystallised. This product (2.5 g.) was stirred in acetonitrile (25 ml.) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylisothiocyanate (2.17 g.) was added. After 18 hours the mixture was filtered and the residue was washed with acetonitrile then ether to give 5-(3-[3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)thioureido]pyrazol-1-yl)valeramide, m.p. 172°-174°.
