Reaction Steps

Phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (0.09 g, 0.6 mmol) in 5 mL glacial acetic acid was treated with triethylamine (0.06 g, 0.6 mmol), warmed to 70° C., treated with N-formylphenylacetamide (0.1 g, 0.6 mmol), and heated at 90° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature and was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and the organics were washed with saturated NaHCO3, 1M NaOH, water, and brine. The organics were then dried (MgSO4), and filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (40% hexanes/ethyl acetate) to provide the title compound. MS (ESI) m/e: 236 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 4.2 (s, 2H), 7.05-7.1 (d, 2H), 7.17-7.3 (m, 3H), 7.45-7.6 (m, 5H), 8.1 (s, 1H); Anal. calcd. for C, 76.57; H, 5.57; N, 17.86. Found C, 76.32; H: 5.81; N, 17.63.
