Acetone → HCID 13770446, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 50 g (0.21 mole) of 5-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-furoic acid hydrazide in 500 ml of acetone was heated at reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered while still warm. Crystalline solid separated readily from the filtrate upon cooling. The solid was collected, washed well with acetone and air dried. The yield was 40 g (69%). Recrystallization of 2 g from acetone gave 1.3 g of analytically pure product, m.p. 167°-169°.
