Furfural → 3-hydroxy-N'-(2-furylmethylene)-2-naphthohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A four neck flask (2 liters) equipped with a thermometer, a reflux condenser and a stirrer was charged with 101 g (0.5 mol) of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthohydrazide and 1.5 liter of methanol, and 57.6 g (0.6 mol) of furfural was dropwise added thereto in 30 minutes while stirring at room temperature. After heating under reflux for 5 hours, the reaction liquid was cooled down to 20° C. or lower, and crystal was filtered off. The crystal was washed with a small amount of methanol and then dried under reduced pressure, whereby the intended compound (slightly yellow crystal) was obtained.
