tert-Butyl carbazate → 9H-Fluoren-9-ylmethyl 4-[(t-butoxycarbonyl)hydrazono]piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 16.0 g (0.05 mol) of 1-(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxycarbonyl)-4-piperidinone, 7.25 g (0.055 mol) of tert. butyl hydrazinoformate and 250 ml of ethanol was refluxed for 1 hour. The solvent was distilled off in vacuo, the oily residue remaining was triturated with diethylether. The crystalline precipitate thus formed was suction filtered and washed with a little diethylether. After the product had been dried in vacuo 21.7 g (99.7% of theory) of colourless crystals were obtained, m.p. 156-158° C. (decomposition).
