Diethyl Ether → 2-[(3-chloro-4-methyl-2-thienyl)carbonyl]-N-isobutylhydrazinecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.00 g (5.25 mmol) of 3-chloro-4-methylthien-2-ylcarboxylic acid hydrazide are placed in 10 ml THF at room temperature. 520 mg (5.25 mmol) of isobutyl isocyanate, dissolved in 2 ml THF, are rapidly added dropwise with stirring. The mixture is further stirred overnight at room temperature. For the workup, the reaction mixture is treated with 10 ml diethyl ether, cooled in the water/ice-bath to about 0° C., and the resulting precipitate recovered by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and dried in vacuo. 1.29 g (85% of theory) of the target compound are thus obtained.
