Reaction Steps

Diisobutylaluminium hydride (1M in toluene, 190 ml) is added dropwise, under a nitrogen atmosphere and at −73° C., to a solution of methyl 3-chloro-4-hydrazino-benzoate (9.5 g, 47 mmol) in 1 l of toluene in such a way that the temperature does not rise above −70° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at −73° C. for 30 min and then warmed to −5° C. Following hydrolysis with 500 ml of water, the precipitate is filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate (5×500 ml). The organic phase is evaporated, after which the residue is taken up in a little ethyl acetate and precipitated with petroleum ether/diethyl ether and filtered off. The solid which is obtained in this way is purified chromatographically on silica gel using cyclohexane/ethyl acetate. Yield: 2.9 g
