Acetyl chloride → N-(2-acetyl-5-phenyl-pyrazol-3-yl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-amine (18.6 g, 0.117 mol) and N-methylmorpholine (30.8 mL, 0.281 mol) in CH2Cl2 (250 mL) was added acetyl chloride (20 mL, 0.281 mol) dropwise at 0° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 and water. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried (phase separator cartridge) and concentrated in vacuo. Diethyl ether was added to the residue and the solid was collected by filtration, yielding the title compound as a solid (25.1 g).
