Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.17 g (0.74 mmol) of N′-(3-bromopyridin-2-yl)acetohydrazide from step A above in 40 mL of anhydrous toluene was added 3 mL of glacial acetic acid and the resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 20 h employing a Dean-Stark trap. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature then evaporated to dryness in vacuo to afford the title compound (0.13 g, 84%) LC-MS: m/z (ES) 212, 214 (MH)−.
