Participants

Reaction Steps

To 100 ml of pyridine is added successively, under dry nitrogen, 8.83 gm (0.0592 mole) of 1-methyl-2-[1-(4-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazine and 6.87 gm (0.0592 mole) of benzoyl chloride. Upon addition of the acid chloride the color changes from clear orange to a clear, deep rose color which changes to an orange solid within about 5 minutes. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight, the pyridine removed via a Buchi evaporator at 70° C. and the cooled residue slurried with water to yield 6.32 gm (42%) of the title compound having a melting point of 128.3° C.
