Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → HCID 58298858, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1 ml of butanol and 4.5 ml of hydrazine hydrate are added to 1.88 g of methyl 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-3-methylbenzoate in a screw-lid vial, and the mixture is stirred at 100° C. until the hydrazide formation is complete. The cooled reaction mixture is poured onto water, the precipitate is filtered off with suction and dried. Purification by recrystallisation from water/1 -propanol gives 1.28 g of 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-3-methylbenzohydrazide as colourless crystals (68%); MS-FAB (M+H+)=1.95.1; Rf (polar method): 0.99 min.
