Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(2-(2-Fluoro-5-iodobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-hydrazinylbenzoic acid (1.54 g, 10 mmol), 2-fluoro-5-iodobenzaldehyde (2.52 g, 10 mmol) and caesium carbonate (3.27 g, 10 mmol) was stirred in DMF (10 mL) at r.t. for 70 min. Water (40 mL) was then added and the clear solution was acidified with aqueous HCl (1.7 M). The light yellow precipitate that formed was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried in vacuo to give 4-(2-(2-fluoro-5-iodobenzylidene)hydrazinyl)benzoic acid (3.77 g, 98%)
