Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → N-benzyl-6-hydrazinylpyridine-3-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combined N-benzyl-6-chloronicotinamide (13 g, 52.8 mmol) and ethanol (60 mL) then added hydrazine hydrate (85%, 30 mL) drop wise at room temperature. After the addition, the solution was heated to reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was then concentrated to remove ethanol and a solid was obtained. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with EtOAc (3×20 mL), and dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (10 g, 78%) as an off-yellow solid.
