Water → N-Aminophthalimide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phthalimide powder was added to a solution of hydrazine monohydrate (28.9 mL, 462.4 mmol) in ethanol (415 mL). The resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 minutes and then stirred under reflux for 8 minutes. The resulting mixture was added to icy water to precipitate solid. The resulting solid was filtered, collected, washed with a small volume of water, and then dried in vacuum. The target compound was yielded as white solid (29.5 g, 182.1 mmol, 42% yield).
