Diethyl (ethoxymethylene)malonate → HCID 178469976, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of naphthalen-1-ylhydrazine hydrochloride (1 g, 5.1 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.4 g, 10.3 mmol) in water (30 mL) was added diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (1.1 g, 5.1 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was acidified with 1N HCl to pH 2 and then extracted with ethyl acetate again. This organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give ethyl 5-hydroxy-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate as a solid.
