Participants

Reaction Steps

N-[3-(4-Pyridyl)propyl]phthalimide (799 mg) and hydrazine monohydrate (600 mg) are dissolved in methanol (15 ml), and the solution is refluxed for four hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure, and chloroform is added to the residue. The organic layer is washed with a saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution and saturated brine successively, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the titled compound (Reference compound No. 1-1, 366 mg).
