Hydrochloric Acid → 3-Fluoro-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

10.00 g (58.8 mM) of methyl 3-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoate and 17.5 ml of 80%-hydrazine hydrate were mixed and stirred for 1 hour and 20 minutes at 100° C., followed by cooling to room temperature. The resultant mixture was poured into 150 ml of iced water and 16.8 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added thereto (pH=about 8), followed by addition of common salt and stirring at room temperature to precipitate a crystal. The crystal was recovered by filtration and stirred in methanol at room temperature. The resultant crystal was recovered from the above mixture by filtration to obtain 9.26 g of 3-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzohydrazide (Yield: 92.6%).
