Ethyl Acetate → HCID 118223428, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Add sodium bicarbonate (270 mg, 3.21 mmol) and cyanogen bromide (187 mg, 1.76 mmol) to the solution of 3-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzohydrazide (400 mg, 1.6 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL), reflux for 5 hrs. TLC (PE:EtOAc=1:1) shows the reaction is complete. Concentrate the mixture, partition the residue between EtOAc and water, collect the organic layer, wash with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, dry over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrate under reduced pressure to afford the crude product. Recrystallization in ethyl acetate yields the pure product (280 mg, 63%).
