Reaction Steps

(3-Nitrophenyl)hydrazine hydrochloride (30 g, 0.16 mol) and 2-oxo-propionic acid ethyl ester (22 g, 0.19 mol) were dissolved in ethanol (300 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h before the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give (E)-ethyl 2-(2-(3-nitrophenyl)hydrazono)propanoate, which was used directly in the next step.
