Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.05 mol of N-(3-oxocyclohexyl)acetamide and 0.05 mol of 3-methoxyphenylhydrazine hydrochloride in 50 ml of glacial HOAc was stirred for 2 hr at room temperature and then refluxed for 2 hr. The cooled reaction mixture was poured into H2O and the product triturated until solid. Filtration, drying, and recrystallization from ethanol gave the title compound, mp 192°-193°.
