4-Nitrobenzoic Acid → Benzoic acid, p-nitro-, acetylhydrazide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

HOBt (972 mg, 7.2 mmol) and DIEA (1.14 g, 8.9 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of 4-nitro-benzoic acid (1 g, 5.96 mmol) in DMF (6 mL). The reaction mixture was cooled to 10° C. EDCI.HCl (1.38 g, 7.2 mmol) followed by acetic acid hydrazide (490 mg, 6.6 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight then diluted with water and the product extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics were washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution followed by brine solution, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to afford 700 mg (55%) of 4-nitro-benzoic acid N′-acetyl-hydrazide. 1H NMR: (DMSO-d6): δ 10.7 (s, 1H), 10.0 (s, 1H), 8.4 (d, 2H), 8.1 (d, 2H), 1.9 (s, 3H).
