Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178448751, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

373.8 g (3.0 moles) of tert-butylhydrazine hydrochloride and 50 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid were added to a solution of 552.3 g (3.0 moles) of ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate dissolved in 1,500 ml of ethanol. The mixture was refluxed for 2 days with heating, to give rise to a reaction. After the completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was subjected to vacuum distillation to remove the most part of the solvent contained therein. The residue was poured into water, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The resulting organic layer was washed with water and an aqueous sodium chloride solution in this order and then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The resulting solution was subjected to vacuum distillation to remove the solvent contained therein. The residue was washed with n-hexane to obtain 369.0 g (yield: 59.1%) of 1-tert-butyl-3-trifluoromethyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol as a white powder.
