O.[NH2:2][NH2:3].[OH:4][CH:5]([C:7](=[CH2:13])[C:8](OCC)=[O:9])[CH3:6]>C(O)C>[OH:4][CH:5]([CH:7]1[CH2:13][NH:3][NH:2][C:8]1=[O:9])[CH3:6]To hydrazine hydrate (38.6 g) was added dropwise a solution of ethyl 2-(1-hydroxyethyl)acrylate (106 g) in ethanol (20 ml) at 0° C. After the addition, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 4 hours at the same temperature. The resulting reaction mixture was chromatographed on silica gel (2.2 l) eluting in turn with chloroform and a mixture of chloroform and methanol (8:1→2:1→1:1, V/V) to give 4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3-pyrazolidinone (68 g).
