Sodium sulfate decahydrate → [3-(methylamino)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (7.50 g) was added to tetrahydrofuran (200 mL) under ice-cooling. To the obtained mixture was added dropwise a solution (100 mL) of ethyl 3-(formylamino)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (20.50 g) in tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture was heated under reflux for 1.5 hrs. To the obtained mixture was added small portions of sodium sulfate decahydrate (50 g) on an ice bath, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hrs. while adding tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) as appropriate to allow stirring. Solids were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated to give [3-(methylamino)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]methanol as a colorless oil (15.42 g, yield 96%).
