Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 3-Amino-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxopropanenitrile in ethanol was heated to 60° C. Hydrazine hydrate was added dropwise over a minimum of 30 min at 60° C. The resulting solution was held at 60° C. until reaction completion, generally 15-18 hr. The reaction mixture was quenched with water. Ethanol was removed by distillation to about 5 volumes. The product was isolated by filtration, washed with water and dried in a vacuum oven. The yield was 88-95%.
