Ammonia → 3-(5-Nitrofuran-2-yl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

Boil (under reflux) 5 g of 3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-1-phenylpyrazole-4-carboxaldehyde together with 7.6 g of activated manganese dioxide and 300 ml of toluene with the introduction of ammonia using a water-trap. Filter after 5 hours and then evaporate the filtrate to dryness in vacuo before recrystallizing three times from dimethylformamide and water to obtain 3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)-1-phenylpyrazole-4-carbonitrile [m.p. 190° to 192° C].
