Reaction Steps

Methyl [1-(3-chlorophenyl)hydrazino]acetate (1.78 g) was dissolved in acetonitrile (20 ml) under nitrogen at room temperature. Methyl isocyanate (1.7 ml) was added to the solution which was then heated at 80° for 2 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give an oily residue which solidified on standing. This solid was triturated with ether and filtered to give the title compound (2.0 g), m.p. 121°-122°.
