Acetic Acid → 4-Fluoro-3-methylbenzohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

50 mL trifluor acetic acid was added to 13 g N′-(4-fluoro-3-methyl-benzoyl)-hydrazinecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester in 150 mL dichlormethane. The reaction was stirred for 1 h at RT and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was basicfied with 1 N sodium hydroxide and extracted with saturated sodium chloride solution and tetrahydrofuran. The organic layer was evaporated and the residue crystallized from ethyl acetate to yield 6.8 g of the desired product.
