Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 3-allyl-4-methylbenzoate (2.84 g, 15 mmol) and hydrazine hydrate (2.1 mL, 37.5 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL) was heated to 100° C. for 6 hours. After cooling, the mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water, and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 3-allyl-4-methyl-benzoic acid hydrazide as a white solid. (Yield 2.80 g, 98.1%).
