Water → 2-(3,5-diethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Lithium aluminum hydride (190 mg, 4.8 mmol) was added slowly to tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) under 0° C. (3,5-Diethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (1.0 g, 4.8 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was slowly added under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was allowed to slowly warm to room temperature and stirred for 16 h. After the reaction was cooled at 0° C., water (0.3 mL) was added slowly and the reaction was stirred for 30 minutes, filtered through a short silica gel column, which was rinsed with ethyl acetate followed by 20% methanol/methylene chloride. The solution was concentrated in vacuo to provide 2-(3,5-diethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-ethanol (0.8 g, 100% yield).
