Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → Quinuclidine-3-carbohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

(±) Methyl 1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-3-carboxylate* (0.36 g; 2.1 mmoles) and hydrazine hydrate (0.35 ml; 7.0 mmoles) were heated at 120° C. for 2 h. The reaction was diluted with water (10 ml), saturated with potassium carbonate and extracted into chloroform (3×15 ml). Combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give the title compound as a pale oil (0.36 g; 100%) which was used in the next stage without further purification. *
