1-Acetyl-2-(4-benzalaminophenyl)hydrazine → N'-[4-(benzylamino)phenyl]acetohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Acetyl-2-(4-benzalaminophenyl)hydrazine (5.1 g, 0.02 mole) and platinum oxide (catalytic amount) were suspended in ethanol (200 ml) in a Parr shaker bottle. The reaction mixture was hydrogenated at room temperature until hydrogen uptake ceased. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent was evaporated from the filtrate leaving a white crystalline powder. Yield 4.7 g (92%), m.p. 118°-120° C.
