Methyl Isocyanate → HCID 20279741, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred, degassed suspension of dodecylhydrazine hydrochloride (4.62 g, 0.017 mole) in diethyl ether (15 mL) was cooled under nitrogen and 4N aqueous potassium hydroxide (8.7 mL, 0.035 mole) was added. Stirring was continued as methyl isocyanate (0.97 g, 0.017 mole) in 5 mL diethyl ether was added dropwise. The mixture was filtered to yield 4.12 g (94.7%) N-methyl-1-dodecyl-hydrazinecarboxamide (m.p. 73°-75° C.). NMR analysis confirmed the structure.
