Methylhydrazine → 3-(4-Chlorobenzyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-oxo-butyronitrile (200 mg, 1 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and N-methylhydrazine (153 mg, 3.32 mmol, 3.2 equiv) in 4 mL of ethanol was heated at 100° C. in a sealed tube. After 4 d, the reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via automated flash chromatography (40 g SiO2, gradient from hexanes to ethyl acetate) to afford the product as a yellow solid (188 mg, 80%).
