Cyclobutanone → tert-Butyl cyclobutylidenecarbazate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of cyclobutanone (16.96 ml, 227 mmol) and tert-butyl hydrazinecarboxylate (30 g, 227 mmol) in isohexane (378 mL), under nitrogen was stirred at reflux for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The resulting suspension was filtered, rinsing the solid with iso-hexane (×2).
