Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Using the procedure described in Example 308A Step 1, to a solution of 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxopentanenitrile (782 mg, 6.25 mmol) in anhydrous EtOH (30 ml) was added 5-hydrazinyl-2-methylpyridine (1 g, 8.12 mmol) and the reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. overnight. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (DCM/EtOAc 10-50%) to afford 3-tert-butyl-1-(6-methylpyridin-3-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine (95 mg, 7%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.34 (s, 9H), 2.59 (s, 3H), 3.67 (brs, 2H), 5.56 (s, 1H), 7.25 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (d, J=9 Hz, 1H), 8.74 (s, 1H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 231 (M+H)+.
