Reaction Steps

190 mg (0.54 mmol) methyl 4-[3-(4-butoxyphenyl)-3-oxopropanoyl]benzoate was dissolved in 10 mL ethanol and 0.5 mL hydrazine hydrate and 1 mL acetic acid were added. The mixture was refluxed for 1 h. Upon cooling, the product crystallized. To complete crystallisation, 5 mL water was added and the product was filtered off, washed with water and dried. A white crystalline material (150 mg, 0.42 mmol, 78%) was isolated and directly used for the next step.
