Sodium Hydroxide → 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-indazol-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

According to Scheme 1 Step 2: A solution of hydrazine hydrochloride (41.9 mmol, 2.87 g), NaOH (6 M, 42 mmol, 7.0 mL) in MeOH (100 mL) was added, at 0° C., to a solution of 2-((dimethylamino)methylene)cyclohexane-1,3-dione (41.9 mmol, 7.00 g) and the reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for 3 hours. After evaporation, water was added and the aqueous phase was extracted with AcOEt at 50° C. The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4, was filtered and was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 6,7-dihydro-1H-indazol-4(5H)-one (36.7 mmol, 5.00 g, 88%) as a yellow powder.
