Chloride phenylhydrazine

Phenylhydrazine is, however, frequently supplied in the form of its hydro chloride or sulphate, since these salts on exposure to light darken less rapidly than the free base. If these salts are used, however, osazone formation is unsatisfactory, partly because the mineral acid formed by hydrolysis of... 

Benzenediazonium chloride reacts in solution with sodium sulphite to give benzenediazonium sodium sulphonate, which when treated with sulphurous acid undergoes reduction to phenylhydrazine sodium sulphonate. The latter readily hydrolyses in the presence of concentrated hydrochloric acid to give... 

Benzenediazonium chloride also undergoes direct reduction to phenylhydrazine... 

P Keto esters (t.g., ethyl ocetoacetate) are soluble in solutions of caustic alkalis but not in sodium carbonate solution. They give colours with freshly prepared ferric chloride solution a little alcohol should be added to bring the ester into solution. Sodium ethoxide solution reacts to yield sodio compounds, which usually crystallise out in the cold. Phenylhydrazine yields pyrazolones. They are hydrolysed by boiling sulphuric acid to the Corresponding ketones, which can be identified as usual (Section 111,74). 

Phenylhydrazine may be prepared by reducing phenyldiazonium chloride solution with excess of warm sodium sulphite solution, followed by acidification with hydrochloric acid, when the hydrochloride crystallises out on cooling. Treatment of the latter with excess of sodium hydroxide solution liberates the free base. The reaction is believed to proceed through the following stages —... 

Prepare acetophenonephenylhydrazone by warming a mixture of 20 g. of acetophenone (Section IV, 136) and 18 g. of phenylhydrazine on a water bath for 1 hour. Dissolve the hot mixture in 40 ml. of rectihed spirit, and shake or stir to induce crystallisation. Cool the mixture in ice, filter and wash with 12 ml. of rectified spirit. Dry in a vacuum desiccator over anhydrous calcium chloride for at least half an hour. The yield of phenylhydrazone, m.p. 105-106 , is 28 g. 

Phthalic anhydride and diethyl phthalate are easily converted with hydrazine into 4-hydroxyphthalazin-l(2/f)-one. Its substituted derivatives have been prepared using substituted hydrazines, substituted phthalic anhydrides, or diesters or disodium salts of substituted phthalic acids (Scheme 81). However, condensation of phenylhydrazine with phthalic anhydride gives only a small amount of the corresponding phthalazine, the main product being 2-anilinophthalimide. This can be rearranged in the presence of base into the phthalazine derivative. For the preparation of 2,3-disubstituted derivatives, 1,2-disub-stituted hydrazines are reacted with the appropriate phthalic anhydrides or phthaloyl chlorides. Derivatives of 4-amino- or 4-hydrazino-phthalazin-l(2iT)-one have been prepared either from the corresponding monothiophthalimide and 3-aminoisoindolin-3-one (1S4) or from ethyl 2-cyanobenzoate (155) and hydrazine hydrate (Scheme 82). Similarly,... 

Nareeine eontains three methoxyl and two methyl-groups attached to nitrogen, reaets with phenylhydrazine or hydroxylamine, furnishing phenylhydrazone or oxime anhydrides and esterifies with aleohols in presence of hydrogen chloride. From a study of these reactions, and in... 

Pyridine has been phenylated with the following free-radical sources benzenediazonium chloride with aluminum trichloride the Gomberg reaction " phenylhydrazine and metal oxides A -nitroso-acetanilide dibenzoyl peroxide phenylazotriphenylmethane di-phenyliodonium hydroxide and electrolysis of benzoic acid. ° Although 2-phenylpyridine usually accounts for over 50% of the total phenylated product, each of the three phenyl derivatives can be obtained from the reaction by fractional recrystallization of the... 

Pyrazolo[4,3-e][l, 2,4][triazines 365 were prepared (80JHC209) by treatment of 4-bromo-3-phenylpyrazol-5-ylhydrazonyl chlorides 364, obtained from 363, with hydrazine or phenylhydrazine. It should be noted that the reaction of 3-phenylpyrazol-5-ylhydrazonyl chloride gave (77JHC227) pyrazolo[l,5-c][l,2,4]triazine (Scheme 79). 

Isolation of Citronellal and Citral. At the close of each experiment (7 to 10 days), the nests were frozen intact. Groups of 200 workers were placed in a micro-Soxhlet apparatus and extracted for 8 hours with methylene chloride. A few milligrams of carrier citronellal and citral were added and the mixture was applied to a thin-layer chromatoplate (silica gel G) which was developed with hexane-ethyl acetate (92 to 8) to separate citronellal and citral (3). The aldehydes were detected by spraying with a solution of 2, 4-dini-trophenylhydrazine in tetrahydrofuran (20) and the citronellal and citral peaks were scraped off and allowed to react with excess dinitro-phenylhydrazine reagent for a further 12 hours. 

Interestingly, the Fischer indole synthesis does not easily proceed from acetaldehyde to afford indole. Usually, indole-2-carboxylic acid is prepared from phenylhydrazine with a pyruvate ester followed by hydrolysis. Traditional methods for decarboxylation of indole-2-carboxylic acid to form indole are not environmentally benign. They include pyrolysis or heating with copper-bronze powder, copper(I) chloride, copper chromite, copper acetate or copper(II) oxide, in for example, heat-transfer oils, glycerol, quinoline or 2-benzylpyridine. Decomposition of the product during lengthy thermolysis or purification affects the yields. 

Disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles are usually minor components in the product mixtures obtained from reactions of triazole with electrophiles (see Section 5.01.5). The few regioselective syntheses of such compounds include a reaction of aminoacetophenones 1235 with hydrazines. The reaction with methylhydrazine proceeds well without any catalysis, but that with phenylhydrazine requires cupric chloride as a catalyst. It is assumed that hydrazone 1236 that forms in the first step is in a tautomeric equilibrium with its azo form 1237. However, it is not clear how bond formation between the nitrogen atoms and oxidation to the triazole system occurs. 4-Aryltriazoles 1238 are obtained in 50-66% yield (Scheme 205) <2003SC3513>. 

To 30 g polyphosphoric acid (prepared by adding 2 1 P2Os 85% phosphoric acid) add 3.3 g phenylhydrazine and 4 g phenylacetone (or equimolar amount ethylacetone) and heat twenty minutes at 130-140- in N2 stream. Pour over 200 ml water and extract with methylene chloride to get about 45% yield 2-benzvlindole or 30% 2-... 

Constitution of the Esters of the (3-Ketocarboxylic Acids and of the P-Diketones.—Ethyl acetoacetate is taken as example. It reacts like a ketone with phenylhydrazine, bisulphite, and other ketone reagents on the other hand it shows an acid reaction, it dissolves in alkalis, and gives the colour reaction with ferric chloride characteristic of ends and also of phenols. From this double behaviour it was formerly concluded that it was either purely ketonic or purely enolic and that the reactions in the other form were to be attributed to a rearrangement caused by the reagents used. The true state of affairs was first disclosed by... 

Experiment. E. Fischer s Indole Synthesis.—Mix 2 g. of phenylhydrazine with 2 c.c. of acetone in a test tube. Water is eliminated and a turbidity appears. Suspend the tube in the boiling water bath for forty-five minutes, then add 6 g. of dry zinc chloride and heat the mixture for a few minutes with stirring in an oil bath at 180°. Now wash the dark-coloured melt into a small round-bottomed flask with four volumes of dilute hydrochloric acid and separate the resultant a-methylindole by distillation with steam. The substance collects as an oil which soon solidifies. After drying crystallise it from a little petrol ether. Melting point 59°.

Potassium iodate is a fairly strong oxidizing agent that may be used in the assay of a number of pharmaceutical substances, for instance benzalkonium chloride, cetrimide, hydralazine hydrochloride, potassium iodide, phenylhydrazine hydrochloride, semicarbazide hydrochloride and the like. Under appropriate experimental parameters the iodate reacts quantitatively with both iodides and iodine. It is, however, interesting to observe here that the iodate titrations may be carried out effectively in the presence of saturated organic acids, alcohol and a host of other organic substances.
