Pentenone → ethyl 4,5-dihydro-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl hydrazinoacetate hydrochloride (1.55 g, 10 mmol), 3-pentene-2-one (0.95 mL, 10 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (1.00 g, 11.9 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was then filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting oil was purified by medium pressure liquid chromatography on silica gel (0 to 100% gradient of ethyl acetate in hexanes as eluant) to provide the title compound as a yellow oil (0.26 g).
