Reaction Steps

A mixture of 49 g 3-methyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one and 60.0 g bromoethane was sealed in a glass pressure tube and heated in an oil bath at 130° C. for 40 hours. After cooling, the tube was opened and the contents were poured into 200 g ice-water. Sodium bicarbonate (42.00 g) was added in small portions with stirring. The resulting mixture was stirred and heated to 100° C. for 1 hour, cooled to room temperature, and extracted with 10×50 ml portions of chloroform. The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous calcium chloride, evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue recrystallized from ethanol to give 20.1 g as colorless prim, m.p. 112°-113° C.
