tert-Butyl carbazate → Benzyl 4-[2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)hydrazinyl]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl 4-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylate (10.0 g, 42.9 mmol), tert-butyl-1-hydrazinecarboxylate (5.70 g, 42.9 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (13.6 g, 64.1 mmol) were stirred together for 4 hours at room temperature in dichloromethane/acetic acid (40 ml, 10% solution). The solvents were evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was basified with saturated sodium carbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic solutions were dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to yield the title compound as a colourless gum, 14.2 g.
