Hydrochloric Acid → 5-amino-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-amino-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (15 g) in methanol (300 ml) was added hydrochloric acid (1.8 ml) under ice-cooling. The resulting solution was stirred for 15 minutes. The mixture was treated with 10% palladium carbon (7.5 g) under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 3 hours. After the catalyst was filtered off, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 5-amino-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde (13.3 g).
