Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Fluorophenyl hydrazine (1.26 g, 9.99 mmol) and ethyl 3-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopropanoate (2.10 g, 9.99 mmol, 1 equiv) were combined in acetic acid (20 mL) and placed into an oil bath preheated at 120° C. for 3 hours. The mixture was cooled of ambient temperature and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was concentrated from toluene (3×50 mL), providing the titled compound.
