Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(2-methylphenyl)-3-(4-pyridyl)-3,4-epoxy-2-butanone (step 2) (0.11 g, 0.434 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (0.043 g, 0.868 mmol) in ethyl alcohol (50 ml) was heated at reflux for 20 hours. The solvent was removed and the resulting residue was purified by chromatography to give 4-[5-methyl-3-(2-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]pyridine: Anal. Calc'd for C16H15N3 (249.32): C, 77.08; H, 6.06; N, 16.85. Found: C, 76.66; H, 5.91; N, 16.84.
