Hydrochloric Acid → 2-nitro-4-(1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-nitro-4-(1-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-benzonitrile (17.7 g, 59 mmol) in EtOH (440 ml) was added 44 ml of concentrated HCl. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 1.5 h. The mixture was poured into water (1 l), and 2 M NaOH-solution was added until pH was 12. Thus resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried to give 11.7 g (92%) of the title compound. 1H-NMR (400 MHz; d6-DMSO): δ 7.09 (d, 1H), 7.91 (d, 1H), 8.20 (d, 1H), 8.37 (dd, 1H), 8.73 (d, 1H), 13.4 (bs, 1H).
