Abstract: The title compound, ethyl 3-{2-[(3-methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)carbonyl]hydrazinylidene} butanoate (3), was prepared via reaction of 3-methyl-1H-indole-2-carbohydrazide (1) and ethyl 3-oxobutanoate (2) under reflux. The structure of the synthesized compound was assigned on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, mass spectral and X-ray data.

Synthesis of Ethyl 3-{2-[(3-Methyl-1H-indol-2-yl)carbonyl]hydrazinylidene}butanoate (3)
A mixture of the hydrazide 1 (1.89 g, 10 mmol) and ethyl 3-oxobutanoate 2 (10 mmol) in absolute
ethanol (20 mL) was heated at reflux temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled and
the formed precipitate was filtered off, washed with ethanol to afford the title compound 3. Yield:
84%; yellow microcrystals (from ethanol); mp: 238–240 °C.
