Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(methylsulfonyl)phenylhydrazine (5.0 g, 26.8 mmol, 1.00 equiv) and 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane (4.4 mL, 26.8, 1.0 equiv) in ethanol (37 mL) at rt was added concentrated HCl (2.8 mL). The resulting solution was heated at reflux for 1 hr, cooled to 0° C. and filtered to give 1-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-1H-pyrazole as a yellow solid (4.73 g, 79%). LCMS: (MH)+=223.1 (1.19 min).
