Phenylhydrazine → HCID 271464, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by a modification of published procedures (M. S. Berridge et al., Nucl. Med. Biol. 19 (5) 563-569 (1992); Brueckner R. et al., EP 1 424 337 A1 (2004)). To a stirred suspension of cyclohexane-1,3-dione (10 g, 0.089 mol) in water (64 mL) under nitrogen was added via dropping funnel 10-15 drops of a solution of phenylhydrazine (8.8 mL, 0.089 mmol) in water (124 mL). The mixture was stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature and then the remainder of the phenylhydrazine solution was added dropwise over a 4 hour period. Ethanol (21 mL) was added to facilitate stirring after about 30 mL of the hydrazine solution had been added. Stirring was continued for an additional 30 minutes. The orange solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and a small amount of 3:1 (v/v) water-ethanol, and dried in vacuo overnight to provide the title compound (15.01 g, 83.3%).
