Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 3-Nitro-5-trifluoromethyl-benzoic acid hydrazide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (20 g, 80 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (5.56 mL, 96 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) was stirred for 16 h at 25° C. Then the solvent was concentrated to yield an off white solid of 3-nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzohydrazide (20 g, 72.2 mmol, 90% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD) δ 8.89 (s, 1H), 8.65 (s, 1H), 8.50 (s, 1H); ES-LCMS m/z 250 (M+H).
