Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a room temperature solution of methyl 2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (150 mg, 0.58 mmol) in ethanol (40 mL) was added hydrazine hydrate (293 mg, 5.85 mmol). The reaction mixture was then heated at 80° C. for 16 h, concentrated in vacuo and the residue dissolved in DCM (50 mL). The organic layer was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 2-(4-cyclohexylphenyl)cyclopropanecarbohydrazide (200 mg) which was taken on to the next step without further purification.
