Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 2-(2'-oxo-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3'-indol]-1'(2'H)-yl)acetohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl (2′-oxo-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-1′(2′H)-yl)acetate (0.35 g, 0.92 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was added hydrazine hydrate (0.15 mL, 1.84 mmol) and the solution was heated at reflux for 16 h. Upon being allowed to cool to ambient temperature a solid precipitate formed. The solid was filtered and washed with ethanol (2 mL) to afford 2-(2′-oxo-2,3-dihydrospiro[furo[2,3-g][1,4]benzodioxine-8,3′-indol]-1′(2′H)-yl)acetohydrazide (0.285 g, 84%) as a colorless solid: MS (ES+) m/z 367.9 (M+1).
