Salicylic Acid → HCID 22613512, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.6 g (0.1 mol) of benzhydrazide and 13.8 g (0.1 mol) of salicylic acid are initially introduced into 200 ml of chlorobenzene and the mixture is heated to the boil. After adding 3.0 g (0.038 mol) of pyridine, 13.1 g (0.11 mol) of thionyl chloride are added dropwise over the course of 1 hour. The reaction starts immediately whilst the product separates out as a white precipitate. After cooling, the mixture is filtered and the product is washed with methanol and dried. N-Salicyloyl-N'-phenyl-hydrazine of melting point 259° C is thus obtained in 67% yield.
