Methanol → 4-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)butan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 4-(3-nitro-pyrazol-1-yl)-but-2-yn-1-ol (prepared in example 52, 113 mg, 0.62 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (3 mL) and methanol (3 mL) was added. While stirring, a 50% slurry of raney nickel in water (1.3 mL) was added followed by hydrazine (400 μL). Immediate effervescence was observed. The reaction continued to stir and bubble for 25 min. The reaction was passed through a plug of celite and concentrated in vacuo to afford 4-(3-amino-pyrazol-1-yl)-butan-1-ol (93 mg, 98%) as a clear oil: ESI-LRMS m/e calcd for C7H13N3O [M+] 155.11, found 156.32 [M+H+].
