Methanol → Methyl 2-(2-(2-chloro-5-fluorobenzylcarbamothioyl)hydrazono)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of pyruvic acid (5.63 g, 64.0 mmol) in methanol (150 mL) was added N-(2-chloro-5-fluorobenzyl)hydrazinecarbothioamide (27, 14.9 g, 64.0 mmol) followed by cone. H2SO4 (3 mL) The mixture was heated at reflux for 15 h. Most of the solvent was evaporated. The resulting residue was taken into EtOAc (500 mL), washed with water, saturated NaHCO3 and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give methyl 2-(2-(2-chloro-5-fluorobenzylcarbamothioyl)hydrazono)propanoate (28). MS: m/z, 318 (100%, M+1), 320 (35%).
