Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → HCID 178509162, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 17.7 g (0.1 mole) amount of 1-(4-pyridylmethyl)piperazine (prepared as described above) was dissolved in 25 ml of ethanol and then added dropwise over 30 minutes to a stirred solution of 14.6 g (0.1 mole) of dimethyl cyanodithioiminocarbonate in 125 ml of ethanol. The mixture was refluxed for 20 hours, the evolved gas being led into a sodium hypochlorite trap, for the first 3 hours. Then 6.0 ml (0.12 mole) of hydrazine hydrate was added into the refluxing reaction mixture through the condenser and the mixture was refluxed for 6 hours longer. The mixture was evaporated to a solid residue which was recrystallized with ether and gave 25.8 g of the product of the Example as pale yellow crystals, mp 191°-193° C.
