Reaction Steps

To 250 ml of 80% acetic acid in water were added 4-methoxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride (21 g, 0.12 mole) and 3-oxocyclopentane carboxylic acid (20 g, 0.15 mole). After stirring at ambient temperature for two hours, the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for three hours. After cooling, the mixture was filtered, and the tan precipitate washed with water, and dried to give 15 g of a solid, mp ~200° C. A sample of this material was recrystallized from ethanol/ether (1:2) to give a tan solid, mp 210° C. (dec.).
