To the reaction mixture was added hydrazine monohydrate (2.05 g) over 15 min while heating under reflux. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 5 hr, filtrated, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. Isopropyl ether was added to the obtained residue. The resulting crystals were collected by filtration, washed with isopropyl ether, and dried to give the title compound (2.18 g, yield 97%) as yellow crystals. melting point 188-190° C.
