Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → HCID 178514324, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred slurry of 100 g (0.55 mol) of 5-chloroisatin in 930 ml of ethanol was added 40 ml (0.826 mol) of hydrazine hydrate, resulting in a red solution. The solution was heated under reflux for 3.5 hours, during which time a precipitate appeared. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight, and then the precipitate was recovered by filtration to give 5-chloro-3-hydrazonooxindole as a yellow solid, which was dried in a vacuum oven. The dried solid weighted 105.4 g.
