A process for making zaleplon comprises i. alkylating 3-[3-(dimethylamino)-l-oxo-2-propenyl]-phenyl]-acetamide with ethyl iodide in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide or alkoxide in an aprotic solvent to give N-ethyl-[3-[3-(dimethylamino)-1-oxo-2-propenyl]-phenyl]-acetamide; ii.condensing N-ethyl-[3-[3-(dimethylamino)-1-oxo-2-propenyl]-phenyl]-acetamide and 3-amino-4-cyanopyrazole; iii. isolating zaleplon from the reaction. Preferably, the condensing is done in the presence of (a) a water immiscible organic acid; (b) a cation exchange resin; or (c) a water miscible organic acid in water or in a C-1 to C-4 alcohol or in a mixture of water and a C-1 to C-4 alcohol.
