Ethanol → ethyl 2-phenylhydrazinecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into 200 ml of ethanol were poured 21.6 g (0.2 mol) of phenylhydrazine and 30 ml of triethylamine, and 21.6 g (0.2 mol) of ethyl chloroformate was slowly added dropwise thereto. After the addition, the mixture was refluxed for 30 minutes and then poured into ice-water. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was concentrated and purified by column chromatography to obtain 31 g of N-phenyl-N'-ethoxycarbonylhydrazine as an oily substance.
