p-Aminoacetophenone → Ethyl 2-(4-acetylphenylcarbamoyl)hydrazinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4-aminoacetophenone (676 mg, 5 mmol) in THF (25.000 mL) at 0° C. was added triethylamine (1.386 mL, 10.00 mmol) and 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (1512 mg, 7.50 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Then ethyl carbazate (1562 mg, 15.00 mmol) was added, followed by more triethylamine (2.079 mL, 15.00 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 55° C. for 2 hours. Water was then added, extracted with CH2Cl2 twice, washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was triturated in ethyl acetate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via silica gel chromatography (10-80% ethyl acetate/heptane) giving ethyl 2-(4-acetylphenylcarbamoyl)-hydrazinecarboxylate (354 mg, 27%) as a light yellow solid. LC-MS (M+1) 266.1, t=0.79 minutes.
