Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 2-Oxazolemethanamine, 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-, monohydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.4 g of N-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxazolyl]methylphthalimide and 0.55 g of 100% hydrazine hydrate in 50 ml of ethanol was heated at reflux for 1 hour. At the end of this period, the formed precipitate was filtered off, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was shaken with 2N HCl - chloroform and the 2N HCl - layer was evaporated to dryness under vacuo. The residue was recrystallized from ethanol to give 1.9 g (78 percent) of 2-aminomethyl-5-(4-chlorophenyl) oxazole hydrochloride, M. P. 200° C. (decomposition).
