Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 4-bromo-N-(5-(hydrazinecarbonyl)thiophen-3-yl)picolinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The methyl 4-(4-bromopicolinamido)thiophene-2-carboxylate (2.7 g, 6.9 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol, hydrazine hydrate (1.4 mL, 28 mmol) was added and the reaction was refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated, and the solids were suspended in acetonitrile and filtered to afford 2.4 g (70%) 4-bromo-N-(5-(hydrazinecarbonyl)thiophen-3-yl)picolinamide as a white solid. M+1=341.1
