After that the reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 h at 80° C. under inert atmosphere. Consumption of starting materials was confirmed by LC-MS analysis and TLC. Ethanol and excess hydrazine hydrate was evaporated under reduced pressure and to the crude product was stirred with diethyl ether at RT for 30 mins, filtered washed with ether and finally dried under vacuum to get 2.4 g (95% yield) of the title product as yellow solid.
