Reaction Steps

Indan-5-yl-hydrazine 1h (2.05 g, 13.8 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of acetic acid followed by addition of ethyl acetoacetate (1.76 mL, 13.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. overnight and the reaction was monitored by TLC until the disappearance of the starting materials. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound 2-indan-5-yl-5-methyl-2,4-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one 1i (1.84 g, yield 62.3%) as a yellow solid.
