Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Pyrimid-2-yl-4-phenyl-pyrazolin-5-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

19.2 g (0.1 mol) of ethyl α-hydroxymethylene-phenylacetate and 11 g (0.1 mol) of 2-hydrazino-pyrimidine in 150 ml of ethanol are boiled under reflux for 3 hours. The mixture is cooled to room temperature, and 9 g (0.1 mol) of concentrated sodium hydroxide solution are then added dropwise, while stirring. Stirring is then continued for 2 hours at room temperature, and the mixture is then boiled under reflux for 2 hours. The mixture is neutralized with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and diluted with 1 l of water. The precipitated crystals are filtered off under suction and dried in the air. 15 g (63% of theory) of 1-pyrimid-2-yl-4-phenyl-pyrazolin-5-one of melting point 159° to 160° C. (from ethanol) are obtained.
