4-Hydrazinobenzoic acid → 4-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Hydrazinylbenzoic acid (251a, 2 g, 13.2 mmol) and pentane-2,4-dione (1.35 mL, 13.2 mmol) were dissolved in isopropanol (40 mL) and refluxed for 15 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford 252a as a white solid (2.85 g, 99% yield). 1H NMR: (DMSO) δ 8.04 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.66 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 2H), 6.14 (s, 1H), 2.39 (s, 3H), 2.22 (s, 3H).
