Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrazine monohydrate (6.2 g) was dissolved in ethanol (12 ml). Thereto was dropwise added a solution of 3-(N,N-dimethylamino)propiophenone (5.4 g) dissolved in ethanol (10 ml) in a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 3 hours with heating. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water.
