Participants

Reaction Steps

1,2-Dimethoxyethane (1.0 L) is added to (2-nitro4-phtalimido-phenyl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester (101 g, 0.28 mol) and the mixture is heated under reflux. Hydrazine monohydrate (19.6 g, 0.39 mol) is added dropwise over 10 minutes and the mixture is stirred at reflux for 1.5 hours. Upon cooling to ambient temperature the mixture is filtered and the solids are washed with dimethoxyethane (250 mL) on the filter. The filtrate is concentrated by means of evaporation and the red crystalline product is recrystallized from toluene (350 mL), precipitated product is filtered off and dried in vacuo. The mother liquor is concentrated to half the original volume and left standing for 16 hours. Precipitated material is filtered off and recrystallized as before. The recrystallized solids are combined to furnish a total of 57.6 g (90%) dark red title compound. LC/MS (m/z) 225.1 (MH+); tR=2.08 min. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 1.33 (t, 3H); 3.77 (s, 2H, NH2); 4.23 (q, 2H); 6.98 (dd, 1H); 7.45 (d, 1H); 8.28 (d, 1H); 9.39 (s, 1H, NH).
