Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine monohydrate (2.16 mL) is added to a solution of 1,3-diphenylpropane-1,3-dione (10.0 g) in ethanol (100 mL) and the mixture is heated to 60° C. for 2.5 h forming a white precipitate over this time. Ethanol is removed in vacuo and the residue is taken up in ethyl acetate. The resulting suspension is filtered to give 3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole, 22 (3.44 g) as a white powder. The filtrate is washed with water (2×100 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give further 3,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole, 22 (5.90 g) as a solid.
