Ethanol → N-(2-methylaminobenzoyl)-N'-ethoxycarbonylhydrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8.86 g of N-methylisatoic anhydride, 5.73 g of ethyl carbazate and 25 ml of ethanol was heated to reflux for 2 hours. After the reaction mixture was allowed to around room temperature, ethyl acetate was added thereto and the mixture was washed with water two times. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was washed with methyl tert-butyl ether to obtain 5.99 g of N-(2-methylaminobenzoyl)-N′-ethoxycarbonylhydrazine of the formula:
