2-(Quinolin-8-yloxy)acetohydrazide

Synthesis

To a RB flask, compound Ethyl (quinolin-8-yloxy) acetate (0.01 mol), hydrazine hydrate (0.2 mol) and absolute alcohol (50 mL) were taken. A condenser with calcium guard tube was attached to the flask and mixture was refluxed for 24 hours on water bath. The mixture was concentrated, cooled and poured in crushed ice.
