Hydrazine → 3-Iodobenzohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Commercially available 3-iodobenzoic acid (7.41 g, 29.9 mmol) was dissolved in THF (121 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 45 minutes after adding 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (5.33 g, 32.9 mmol). The mixture was further stirred at room temperature for 2 hours after adding hydrazine.monohydrate (5.3 mL, 109 mmol). The mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure, and recrystallized from methanol and water to give 3-iodobenzohydrazide (6.08 g, 78%).
