Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of glyoxylic acid monohydrate (920 mg, 10 mmol) and 2′,4′-dimethylacetophenone (4.45 mL, 30 mmol) was stirred at 150° C. for 2 hr. Then the mixture was cooled down to room temperature and water (4 mL) was added followed by conc. aq. NH4OH (1 mL). The mixture was washed with DCM. To the ammoniac solution was added hydrazine (314 μL, 10 mmol) and the solution was refluxed for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature the precipitate was collected by filtration to give the desired product as a white powder (1.1 g, 55%), 1H NMR (300 MHz, dMSO): δ 2.22 (s, 3H), 2.25 (s, 3H), 6.93-6.95 (d, 1H), 7.15 (m, 3H), 7.21-7.23 (d, 1H), 7.57-7.61 (d, 1H), 13.1 (bs, 1H); (M+H, 201).
