Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 4-Hydrazinylpyridin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,4-dihydroxypyridine (20.3 g, 183.0 mmol) was added to the mixture of 2-methoxyethanol (400 ml) and 55% solution of hydrazine hydrate (80 ml) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was refluxed under stirring for 24 hours and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was recrystallized with ethanol to give the titled compound as a white solid. (Yield: 88.3%)
