Procedure

Eighty-five grams (0.38 mole) of 2-benzoylbenzoic acid and 28.6 g (0.38 mole) of hydroxyethylhydrazine were reacted according to the procedure of Example 185. The resulting hydroxyethyl-phthalazinone was suspended in 300 mL of DMF and 200 mL THF and 12.3 g of 60% sodium hydride in oil was added in portions over 40 minutes under nitrogen. The reaction was stirred an additional 45 minutes at room temperature and the evolution of hydrogen ceased. Thirty-one milliliters of methyl iodide was added over 1.5 hours and the reaction was stirred at gentle reflux for 16 hours. It was poured into water and extracted into ether. The ether layers were dried over sodium sulfate and stripped. The residue was chromatographed on silica with 5% ethylamine in ethyl acetate to provide 39 g (47%) of product, mp 115-118 after recrystallization from cyclohexane.
