N-Pentylhydrazine → 1H-Pyrazole-4-carbonitrile, 5-amino-1-pentyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A warm solution of 6.02 g (49.3 mM) ethoxymethylenemalononitrile in 20 ml of ethanol was added via a cannula to a stirred solution of 6.04 g (59.1 mM)n-pentylhydrazine in 20 ml of ethanol at 50° C. The reaction mixture was then heated to reflux for 30 minutes, then cooled in a refrigerator for 18 hours. The off-white crystalline precipitate was filtered to yield 7.73 g (88%) of the title compound, mp=143°-144° C.; tlc, Rf =0.5, silica gel, methanol: chloroform (1:19).
