Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(4-quinolyl)methoxy phthalimide (2.00 g) was suspended in 95% EtOH and hydrazine (0.30 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and then taken up in a small amount of dichloromethane. The small amount of remaining phthalhydrazide was then removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (1.44 g) as a yellow oil. MS(CI) m/e 175 (M+H)+.
