Acetophenone → 1-[2-(2,6-Diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetyl]-1-methyl-2-(1-phenyl-1-ethylidene)hydrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 20 mL volume two-necked flask, 0.50 g of 1-[2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetyl]-1-methylhydrazine ((12-2)-(11)-39), 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran (anhydrous), 0.27 g of acetophenone and 130 mg of acetic acid were added under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred for 6 hours under reflux. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. Water (60 ml) was added to the residue and the resultant was extracted with t-butyl methyl ether. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure and subjected to silica gel column, chromatography (ethyl acetate:chloroform=3:1) to give 0.32 g of 1-[2-(2,6-diethyl-4-methylphenyl)-2-oxoacetyl]-1-methyl-2-(1-phenyl-1-ethylidene)hydrazine ((40-b)-(15)-6).
