Reaktionsschritte

A solution of methyl 4-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate (6.6 g, 40 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (6 mL) in ethanol (30 mL) was stirred at reflux for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated to half volume through atmospheric pressure distillation. The solid was collected by filtration and washed with cold ethanol (2×10 mL). The filtrate was further concentrated and a second crop was similarly obtained and combined. The 4-(hydroxymethyl)benzohydrazide was obtained as a white solid (6.1 g, 93%). 400 MHz 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ: 9.68 (s, 1H), 7.75 (dd, J=6.4, 1.6 Hz, 2H), 7.34 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 5.25 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 1H), 4.50 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 4.43 (s, 2H).
