Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → Quinoline-2-carbohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl quinoline-2-carboxylate 3.2 (10.1 g, 0.054 mol) was dissolved in 50 mL of ethanol and hydrazine hydrate (8.1 g, 0.16 mol) was added. The mixture was heated to reflux for 1 h and cooled down to RT at which point a precipitate formed. The mixture was concentrated to approximately ⅓ of the volume and the precipitate was filtered off, washed with small volumes of ethanol to afford intermediate 2a solvated by ½ equivalent of ethanol. Yield 10 g (99%). 1HNMR (DMSO-d6): δ: 9.95 ppm (s, 1H), 8.55 (d, 1H), 8.1 ppm (d, 2H), 8.05 ppm (d, 1H), 8.85 ppm (t, 1H), 7.65 ppm (t, 1H), 4.6 ppm (s, 2H), 4.3 ppm (t, 0.5H), 4.4 ppm (q, 1H), 1.05 ppm (q, 1.5H).
