Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-methylphenyl)pentane-1,3-dione (370 mg, 1.9 mmol) and 2-hydrazinylisonicotinonitrile (150 mg, 1.1 mmol, PREPARATION 2) in 10 mL EtOH was added 2 mL AcOH. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux conditions overnight before being cooled and concentrated to dryness. The residue was adjusted to pH >8 with saturated aq. K2CO3, then extracted by EtOAc (10 mL×3). The combined organic layers were washed with 20 mL brine, dried over Na2SO4, concentrated, and purified by flash column chromatography (PE/EtOAc=10/1) to give the title compound (560 mg, 77%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.33 (3H, m), 2.38 (3H, s), 2.76 (2H, m), 6.33 (1H, s), 7.15 (4H, m), 7.31 (1H, m), 7.82 (1H, s), 8.42 (1H, m). [M+H] Calc'd for C18H16N4, 289. Found, 289.
