反応手順

Cyclohexanone (2.0 ml., 0.020 mole), phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (2.88 g., (0.020 mole) and 6.0 ml. of freshly distilled pyridine are combined, heated at reflux (115° C) for 3 hours, then allowed to cool to room temperature and allowed to stir overnight. About 25 ml. of water is added and the precipitated solids are collected by decantation. After washing again with water, the solids are dissolved in a mixture of 20 ml. of ethanol and 5 ml. of water and set aside. The resulting crystals are collected by filtration, washed with aqueous ethanol and dried to afford 2.65 g. (77.5% of theory) of the title compound, M.P. 119°-120° C. A mixture of the product and an authentic sample of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydrocarbazole also melted at 119°-120° C.
