Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-cyano-3,3-bis(methylthio)-acrylate (40 g), hydrazine hydrochloride (12.6 g) and sodium acetate (22.6 g) in ethanol was stirred at 90° C. for 2 hour. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and to the residue were added water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, and to the residue was added ethyl acetate and hexane. The precipitates were collected by filtration and dried to give 5-amino-4-ethoxycarbonyl-3-methylthio-1H-pyrazole (17.4 g, yield: 47%) as a colorless solid.
