Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Mucobromic acid (5.0 g, 19.4 mmol) dissolved in acetic acid (110 mL) was treated with 4-fluorophenyl hydrazine.HCl, and the heterogeneous mixture brought to reflux at a bath temperature of 115° C. for 15 hours. During the course of reaction, the mixture became a homogeneous deep red solution, and upon cooling to 23° C., a crystalline precipitate formed. The solution was poured into ice water (1000 mL) and stirred for 20 minutes. The yellow/brown crystals were filtered off, washed with additional cold water, and dried in vacuo to provide 5.8 g (86%) of product. (J. Het.
