Methylhydrazine → 1-p-Methoxybenzoyl-1-methylhydrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methylhydrazine (2.76 g) was dissolved in dichloromethane (60 ml), and a solution of 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (5.12 g) in dichloromethane (10 ml) was added thereto under an ice cooling and stirring. The mixture was further stirred at a room temperature for 1.5 hours, and then the reaction solution washed with water and a saturated saline solution in order. The washed product was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated under a reduced pressure, and dried to give the title compound (4.81 g, 89%).
