After this, the temperature rose to 175°C due to distillation of excess hydrazine hydrate. The mixture was then heated at reflux for 17 hours, cooled to 60°C and poured onto ice water (500g). The organic product was extracted with petroleum spirits (bp 60-80°C: 2 x 200 ml), the extract was washed with water (2 x 200 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave 14.1 g of a yellow oil. This is petroleum spirits (bp60−
