Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 5-Bromopyrimidine-2-carbohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of methyl 5-bromopyrimidine-2-carboxylate (1.0 g, 4.6 mmol) in EtOH (3.6 mL) was added hydrazine monohydrate (0.46 mL, 9.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 1 h. The mixture was filtered, and the collected solid was washed with additional EtOH to provide the desired product as a beige solid (720 mg, 72%). MS (ESI): mass calcd. for C5H5N4O, 216.0; m/z found, 217.0 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.15 (s, 1H), 9.18-9.08 (s, 2H), 4.67 (s, 2H).
