Acetic Acid → HCID 178516151, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate (18.4 g (0.1 mol)) was dissolved in 12.0 g (0.2 mol) of acetic acid. The resulting solution was cooled to 10° C. or less with stirring, and 11.8 g (0.11 mol) of phenylhydrazine was added dropwise thereto over 0.5 hours. After the dropwise addition, the solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and subsequently at 80° C. for 5 hours. When the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and 100 mL of water was added thereto. The produced crystal was collected by filtration, washed twice with 50 mL of water and dried by a hot air drier to obtain 22.3 g (yield: 98.0%) of the title compound as a pale yellow crystal.
