Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → N-[4-(hydrazinocarbonyl)phenyl]-N-methyl-3-phenylpropanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-[methyl(3-phenylpropanoyl)amino]benzoate (1600 mg, 5.38 mmol) in EtOH (14 mL) was added hydrazine hydrate (4.0 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred for 16 h at reflux and evaporated under vacuo to give the title compound (1600 mg, 100%) as a gummy colorless oil, which was used in the next step without any further purification.
