Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanenitrile (2.056 g, 15 mmol) and phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (2.169 g, 15 mmol) in EtOH was heated at 90° C. for 8 hours. The reaction was quenched with water, basified with saturated NaHCO3 solution, and extracted with CH2Cl2. Extracts were dried over MgSO4, concentrated under reduced pressure, and dried under vacuum to afford 1-phenyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine as yellow solid (3.089 g, 91%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.54 (m, 5H), 5.85 (s, 1H), 3.95 (br, 2H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 228 (M+H)+.
