Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-nitrobenzoate (940.7 mg; 5.19 mmol; 1 eq.) is dissolved in EtOH (24 ml). Hydrazine hydrate (4.04 ml; 83.09 mmol; 16 eq.) is added and the mixture is stirred 1 hour at rt. It is stirred at 60° C. for 6 hours and rt overnight. The precipitate formed is filtrated and dried under vacuo, affording 3-nitrobenzohydrazide as white-off solid (815.9 mg; 87%).
