Triethylamine → 3-tert-Butyl-1-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of pivaloylacetonitrile (400 mg) in toluene (10 mL) were added 3,4-dimethylphenylhydrazine hydrochloride (520 mg) and triethylamine (0.4 mL) and refluxed with heating for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was added with a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution. The obtained organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution. The obtained organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified on silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to give the titled compound (490 mg) having the following physical data.
