Hydrazine, propyl- → HCID 53784436, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6.7g of tetrahydro-3,5-bis-[(2-methylphenyl)methylene]-4H-thiopyran-4-one and 1.6g of n-propyl hydrazine in 250ml of methanol is heated at reflux temperature for 4 hours and allowed to cool to room temperature over a 16hour period. The precipitate that forms is collected by filtration and chromatographed on a neutral alumina column (Activity I). The fractions eluted with 10-20 % ether/hexane are combined and recrystallized from methanol/water to give 1.6g of the title compound, melting point 110°-112.5°C.
