Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → (4-oxo-4H-pyridin-1-yl)-acetic acid hydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

As described for example 112a, (4-oxo-4H-pyridin-1-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (Bambury, Ronald E.; Edwards, Michael Louis; Miller, Laird Foulis. 4-Oxo-1-pyridinylpeniclliin and -cephalosporin derivatives. Ger. Offen. (1975)) in ethanol was reacted with hydrazine hydrate (1.2 equivalents) at rt for 72 h. The mixture was concentrated and crystallized from ethanol/diisopropylether and the title compound was obtained as a yellow solid (yield: 98%). MS: m/e=168.3 [M+H]+.
