Water → 1-(2-(2,6-Diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetyl)-1-methyl-2-(1-methylsulfanyl-2-propylidene)hydrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 200 ml volume four-necked flask, 1-methyl-2-(1-methylsulfanyl-2-propylidene)hydrazine (5-0-1) (5.0 g), toluene (anhydrous) (9.6 g), and triethylamine (6.97 g) were added under a nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. To the mixture, 2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetyl chloride (6-a) (9.57 g) dissolved in toluene (28.8 g) was added dropwise at 0° C. over 2 hours, and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. To the reaction mixture was added water (30 ml) at room temperature, and extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 10.96 g of 1-[2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetyl]-1-methyl-2-(1-methylsulfanyl-2-propylidene)hydrazine ((4-4)-(1)-39).
