Hydrazinecarboxaldehyde → 4-(1-Phenyl-1-(2-formylhydrazinocarbonyl)-methylene)piperidine-1-carboxylic Acid Tert-Butyl Ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(1-phenyl-1-carboxy-methylene)piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.05 g, 3.31 mmol), EDCI (0.888 g, 4.63 mmol) and HOBt (0.626 g, 4.63 mmol) in DMF (4 mL) was stirred for 30 min at room temperature and then formic hydrazide (3.97 g, 66.2 mmol) was added. Stirring was continued for 1 h and then the mixture was poured into water and extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organic layers were washed (H2O ×3, brine), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated to give the title compound (1.48 g, 97%) as a colorless oil:
