Ammonium Chloride → 5-Amino4-(3-aminobenzoyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-amino-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(3-nitrobenzoyl)pyrazole (4.0 g, 24.52), Fe powder (3.84 g, 68 mmol) and ammonium chloride (3.84, 71.78 mmol) in ethanol (135 ml) and water (64 ml) was heated at reflux under nitrogen atmosphere. After 1 h, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite® and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated and washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 5-amino-4-(3-aminobenzoyl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrazole (3.5 g) as a solid.
