Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 9-Fluorenylmethyl carbazate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a well-stirred solution of hydrazine hydrate (19 g, 386 mmol) in 150 mL of CH3CN/H2O (1/1, v/v), a solution of FmocCl (10 g, 38.65 mmol) in 600 mL CH3CN was added dropwise at 0° C. over 2 h. The reaction mixture was then allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for an additional 12 hours, concentrated in vacuo to 150 mL and filtered to yield the title compound as a white solid, which was washed with water and hexane and dried to a constant weight in vacuo (9.74 g, 99%): mp 172-173° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 4.08 (brs, 2H), 4.21 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 4.28 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 7.32 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.42 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.69 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 7.89 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 8.36 (brs, 1H); 13C NMR (DMSO) δ 47.7, 66.7, 121.1 (2C), 126.3 (2C), 128.1 (2C), 128.7 (2C), 141.7 (2C), 144.9 (2C), 159.2.
