Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → tert-Butyl 4-(hydrazinecarbonyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

10.0 g (38.9 mmol) of 1-tert-butyl 4-ethyl piperidine-1,4-dicarboxylate were initially charged in 35 ml of ethanol, and 3.8 ml (3.90 g, 78 mmol) of hydrazine hydrate were added with stirring. The mixture was stirred at reflux for 9 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, 1.9 ml (39 mmol) of hydrazine hydrate were added and the reaction solution was stirred at reflux for another 24 h. The solvent was concentrated, ethanol (50 ml) was added and the mixture was concentrated again. Diethyl ether (150 ml) was added, and the mixture was stirred in an ultrasonic bath for 5 min. The product was filtered off and dried. This gave 9.20 g (97% of theory) of the product.
