Acetophenone → Acetophenone-(4-iodophenyl)hydrazone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.54 g (12.82 mmol) of acetophenone in 10 ml of 50% strength acetic acid is added to a solution of 2.0 g (8.546 mmol) of 4-iodophenylhydrazine in 30 ml of the same solvent. The mixture is stirred at room temperature, and a precipitate is formed. After 30 minutes, the precipitate is filtered off and thoroughly washed with water and then with cyclohexane. The residue is dried under high vacuum. This gives 1.95 g (68% of theory) of the title compound.
