Methanol → 2-(2,5-Dimethylphenoxymethyl)-alpha-methoxyiminophenylacetohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methanol (10 ml), THF (10 ml) and hydrazine monohydrate (1.68 g, 0.03 mol) were added to methyl 2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)-α-methoxyiminophenylacetate (3.27 g, 0.01 mol), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. After completion of the reaction, water (200 ml) was added, and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The dichloromethane layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/n-hexane to give 2-(2,5-dimethylphenoxymethyl)-α-methoxyiminophenylacetohydrazide (2.93 g, 89.6%) as colorless crystals.
