Procedure

Ethyl benzoylacetate (1,538 g, 8 moles) dissolved in isopropanol (6 l ) is placed in a 12 l flask under an atmosphere of nitrogen. Methylhydrazine (410 g, 8.7 moles, 98%) in isopropanol (800 ml) is added with stirring in a dropwise manner to the ethyl benzoylacetate solution prewarmed to about 80°C. During the addition the external heating is removed. Seeding of the reaction mixture with the product at the point of one-third addition of methylhydrazine causes a copious precipitate of product. This procedure eliminates a large exotherm from occurring at a later stage. After the addition is complete, the reaction mixture is held at about 80°C. for 2 hours. Cooling the slurry to 20°C. and filtering off the solid, a yield of 1,131 g (81%) of product after drying with a melting point equal to 211° C. is obtained.
