Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Phenyl-5-(3-propylphenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-3-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of sodium ethoxide (20 wt % in ethanol, 31 ml) in ethanol (66 ml) was stirred and added dropwise phenylhydrazine (6.4 ml) at room temperature, and then the mixture was stirred for 40 minutes. To this reaction solution was added dropwise a solution of the mixture of (E)-3-(3-propylphenyl)acrylonitrile and (Z)-3-(3-propylphenyl)acrylonitrile (11.1 g) in ethanol (33 ml), and then the mixture was stirred overnight at reflux. This reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and water (30 ml) was added thereto. Next, pH of the reaction solution was adjusted to 7 by adding a 6M aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid under ice-cooling. This mixed solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the resulting organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. To the resulting residue was added toluene, and the mixture was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. To the resulting residue was added toluene, and again concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude product of the titled compound (18.6 g).
