2-Hydrazinoethanol → 2-(5-Amino-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 16.4 g (0.2 mol) of 3-aminocrotononitrile in 100 cm3 of n-pentanol were added 16.7 g (0.22 mol) of β-hydroxyethylhydrazine and the mixture was then heated at reflux for 12 hours. The n-pentanol was subsequently distilled off under reduced pressure. A thick oil was obtained, which crystallizes by addition of 150 cm3 of isopropyl ether. A beige solid was obtained, which was filtered off on a sinter funnel. After drying under vacuum at 40° C., 18 g of the expected product were obtained in the form of a beige solid, the melting point of which was from 66 to 68° C.
