Triethylamine → 2,5-dibromo-N'-[4-(octyloxy)benzoyl]benzohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under a blanket of nitrogen, 2,5-dibromobenzoyl chloride (57.43 g, 0.11925 mol) was added to a solution of 4-octyloxybenzoic acid hydrazide (50.88 g, 0.1925 mol) and triethylamine (27 mL, 19.48 g, 0.1925 mol) in 800 mL of methylene chloride. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 hours at room temperature. The precipitated solid was filtered off and re-crystallized from hot DMF/water gave 79.38 g (78% yield) 2,5-dibromo-N′-[4-(octyloxy)benzoyl]benzohydrazide.
