Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

22.4 Grams (0.10 moles) of dibenzoylmethane in 200 ml. of isopropyl alcohol are heated to reflux (approximately 85° C.), and to this is added hydrazine hydrate at a rate sufficient to maintain reflux. Thirty minutes after addition, the reaction is complete. The reaction mixture is permitted to cool and is then poured into water. The desired product as a fine white solid precipitates and is filtered, washed with cold water and dried, yielding 22.1 grams of product, melting point 198.5° C. to 200.5° C.
