Ammonium Hydroxide → 1,2-Diethyl-4-pyrazolidinamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 100 g. (0.615 mole) of 4-chloro-1,2-diethylpyrazolidine and 200 ml. of concentrated ammonium hydroxide in a closed steel chamber was heated at 150° C. for approximately 36 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was extracted with isopropyl ether, the aqueous layer saturated with potassium carbonate and continuously extracted with chloroform for six hours. The dried chloroform extract (sodium sulfate) was concentrated at reduced pressure and the residue distilled at 113°-115° C./40 mm. to give 40.5 g. (45.5%) of product.
