Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxo-pentanenitrile (5.0 g, 0.04 mol) in absolute ethanol (50 mL), add 2-hydrazino-ethanol (3 mL, 1.1 equiv.) and concentrated HCl (0.5 mL). Reflux the reaction for 4 hours then cool to room temperature and dilute with water and ethyl acetate. Wash the organics with water then saturated aqueous saturated sodium chloride then dry with magnesium sulfate, filter and concentrate in vacuo. Trituration from hexanes and dichloromethane gives a white solid (4.8 g, 66%). MS (ES), m/z 184 (M+1).
