Vm. Vinogradov et al., NITROPYRAZOLES .5. SYNTHESIS OF SUBSTITUTED 3-NITROPYRAZOLES FROM 3-AMINO-4-CYANOPYRAZOLE, Russian chemical bulletin, 42(9), 1993, pp. 1552-1554
A preparative method of synthesis of 3-nitro-4-cyanopyrazole (1) from
the available 3-amino-4-cyanopyrazole was developed. Chemical conversi
ons of 1 were studied, and 3-nitro-4-R-pyrazoles (R = CO2H, CONH2, NHC
O2Me, NH2, Br, NO2), as well as 3,5-dinitro-4-methoxycarbonylaminopyra
zole were obtained starting from 1.
