Reaction Steps

2.236 g (45 mmol) of hydrazine hydrate were added to a solution of 10 g (37 mmol) of methyl 3-[(4-chlorophenyl)carbonyl]-4-oxopentanoate in ethanol (100 ml). The mixture was heated under reflux for 6 hours and then added to water and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic phases were dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. This gave 6.9 g of product (63% of theory).
