Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 4-(4-Fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(dimethylamino)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)acrylaldehyde (3.0 g) in ethanol (30 mL) was added hydrazine monohydrate (0.90 mL), followed by heating and refluxing for 3 hours. After leaving to be cooled, the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure until the amount of the reaction liquid was reduced to about a half. Water (20 mL) was added thereto, and the resulting solid was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole (2.44 g) as a yellow solid.
