Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → HCID 86615301, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of hydrazine monohydrate (36.0 mL, 0.750 mol) in ethanol (70 mL) at 0° C. in an ice-water bath was added 2-(2-bromoethoxy)-2-methylpropane (12.1 mL, 0.075 mol) drop-wise over 20 minutes. The reaction was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stir for 5 minutes and then heated to 40° C. in a preheated oil bath for 4 hours. The reaction was then cooled to room temperature and concentrated to remove the ethanol. To the flask was added water (20 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether (2×100 mL). The organic layers were combined and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to provide (2-tert-butoxyethyl)-hydrazine as a colorless oil (6.05 g, 61%).
