Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4,6-Trifluoro-benzaldehyde (3 g, 18.74 mmol) and methyl hydrazine (40% in water, 2.6 ml, 18.74 mmol) in 20 ml anhydrous ethanol was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Solvent was evaporated to give the title compound as a white solid which was used in the next step without purification (3.95 g, 100%). LCMS (method B): [MH]+=189, tR=2.16 min.
