Trifluoroacetic acid → 2-Hydrazinyl-2-methylpropan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (4 mL) was added to a solution of N′-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-hydrazinecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (490 mg, 2.4 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give the trifluoroacetic acid salt of 2-hydrazino-2-methyl-propan-1-ol (520 mg, quantitative) which was used without further purification.
