The reaction mixture was stirred for fifteen minutes. Meanwhile a solution of 101.6 g of stannous chloride dihydrate in 175 mL of concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid was prepared and cooled to -55° C. The solution of the diazonium salt was filtered into the stannous chloride solution. The reaction was maintained between -55° C. and -35° C. for one hour. The crystalline material was collected by filtration and dried under high vacuum at 65° C. for 16 hours to yield 23.9 g (>100%) of crude N-[(4-hydrazinylphenyl)methyl]methanesulfonamide hydrochloride.
