Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,4-dibromo-5-phenylfuran-2(5H)-one (4.951 g, 15.57 mmol) in EtOH (5 mL) at 0° C. was added hydrazine, H2O (0.840 mL, 17.13 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min before heating to reflux for 2 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature. The precipitate formed was collected by filtration and washed with cold ethanol to yield the title compound as a pale yellow solid (2.530 g). LCMS m/z=351 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 7.47-7.49 (m, 3H), 7.51-7.54 (m, 3H).
