Participants

Reaction Steps

In ethanol (20 ml), 4-pyridinecarboxyamidrazone (1.48 g) was dissolved. To the resulting solution, diethyl ketomalonate (1.65 ml) was added dropwise at room temperature, followed by stirring for 13 hours. After heating under reflux for 4 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled. Yellow crystals thus precipitated were collected by filtration and dried, whereby the title compound (1.50 g, 56%) was obtained.
