Isoamyl Nitrite → Ethyl 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred suspension of ethyl 5-amino-1-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (7.48 g, 30.0 mmole), prepared as described in Preparation A, above, and isopentyl nitrite (7.03 g, 60.0 mmole) in 80 ml of tetrahydrofuran was refluxed for twenty-four hours and then evaporated in vacuo. The residue was triturated with 50 ml of methanol and filtered to furnish 5.18 g (74% yield) of off-white solid. The sample was recrystallized from ethanol, m.p. 119-21° C.
