Aminopyrazole (III) was prepared by condensation of keto nitrile (I) with 3-nitrophenylhydrazine (II) in ethanolic HOAc. Subsequent reaction of (III) with 2,3-dichlorophenyl isocyanate (IV) in hot toluene produced the urea derivative (V). The nitro group of (V) was finally reduced to the title aniline by means of iron and acetic acid.
