N-methyl-N-phenyl-hydrazine → HCID 70553883, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.7 g of 2-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde and 4.9 g of 1-methyl-1-phenylhydrazine were added to 50 ml of ethanol. To the mixture, two or three drops of 1 N hydrochloric acid were added. The mixture was heated and refluxed for about one hour. The reaction mixture was cooled and the crystals then separated, which were then collected on a suction funnel. The thus obtained crude 2-methoxy-1-naphthaldehyde 1-methyl-1-phenylhydrazone was recrystallized from ethanol. The yield was 3.7 g (63.8%) of light yellow scalelike crystals which melt at 90.5°-91.5° C.
