Water → 4,5-Dichloro-N'-phenyl-1H-imidazole-2-carbohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

21.1 g (0.1 mol) of 4,5-dichloro-imidazole-2-thiocarboxylic acid S-methyl ester were boiled with 10.8 g (0.1 mol) of phenylhydrazine in 150 ml of ethanol for 4 hours under reflux. The cooled reaction mixture was mixed with 500 ml of water and the crystals which had separated out were filtered off and dried. 13.5 g (50% of theory) of 4,5-dichloro-imidazole-2-carboxylic acid N'-phenyl-hydrazide with a melting point of 229°-230° C. (from ethyl acetate) were obtained.
