Participants

Reaction Steps

32.2 g of pyridine-3-carbaldehyde are added in the course of approx. 10 minutes, at room temperature, to a suspension of 13.5 g of carbohydrazide in 200 ml of methanol, the temperature rising to more than 35°. The reaction mixture is further stirred for 1 hour and then cooled to 5°. The crystals that precipitate are filtered off with suction and dried in vacuo at 70°. 40 g of the title compound having a melting point of 202-204° are thus obtained.
