Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Methylhydrazine (31.6 g, 0.687 mol) in methanol (100 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of ethyl 3-oxopentanoate (100 g, 0.694 mol) in methanol (280 mL) over a period of 45 min, during which time the temperature increased to 45° C. The reaction mixture was then allowed to stir at room temperature overnight and then evaporated, affording 84.5 g (97%) of the crude title product.
