Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)butanoate (21.0 g, 96.8 mmol) in MeOH (180 mL) was added NH2NH2.H2O (28.0 g, 483 mmol) at rt. The mixture was stirred at 65° C. for 12 hrs then concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was dissolved in DCM (400 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (2×), and saturated sodium chloride (2×), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated to afford tert-butyl 4-hydrazinyl-4-oxobutylcarbamate (18.9 g, 90%) as a white solid. ESI-MS (EI+, m/z): 240 [M+Na]+.
