Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(5-amino-3-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)ethan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxo-pentanenitrile (5.00 g, 40.0 mmol), concentrated HCl (0.1 mL), and 2-hydrazino ethanol (2.98 mL, 44.0 mmol) in ethanol (40 mL) was refluxed for 20 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oily solid was washed with cyclohexane (30 mL), and dissolved in MeOH (5 mL) and H2O (5 mL) and lyophilised to give the title compound as a white powder (7.13 g, 97%). LCMS (Method 3): Rt 0.43 min, m/z 184 [MH+].
