Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ethanolic sodium ethoxide solution (prepared from 0.29 g of sodium and 20 mL of ethanol) was added 2 g of 3-benzyloxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride and 0.51 g of acrylonitrile. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 5 h and then cooled to room temperature. Solvent was removed in vacuo, residue washed well with water and ether to give 0.4 g of solid. Recrystallization from CH2C12 -Hexane gave 0.3 g of pure product: mp 135°-136° C.
