Hydrazine, propyl- → 2,3,3a,4,6,7-Hexahydro-3-phenyl-7-(phenylmethylene)-2-propylthiopyrano[4,3-c]pyrazole-5-oxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

n-Propyl hydrazine (1.14g) is added to a suspension of 3.8g of tetrahydro-3,5-bis-(phenylmethylene)-4H-thiopyran-4-one-1-oxide in 75ml of methanol and the mixture is heated at reflux temperature for 2 hours. The crystals which form on cooling are collected to give 1.0g of the title compound, melting point 176°-177.5°C. The mother liquor is concentrated in vacuo and the residue is crystallized from acetonitrile/water (2:1) to yield an additional 0.6g of the title compound, melting point 176.5°-178°C. (isomer A)
