Methyl Isocyanate → 4-chloropyrazol-1-yl N-methylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

8 g of methyl isocyanate, dissolved in 50 g of acetonitrile, are added to 15 g of 4-chloro-1-hydroxypyrazole and 150 g of acetonitrile at 25° C., while stirring. Stirring is continued for 12 hours, after which the reaction mixture is evaporated down and the residue is digested 3 times with a total of 150 g of petroleum ether. 17.8 g (80% of theory) or 4-chloropyrazol-1-yl N-methylcarbamate of melting point 125° C. are obtained.
