Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

S-(thiobenzoyl)thioglycolic acid (3.0 g) was dissolved in 20 ml pyridine, treated with t-butyl hydrazine hydrochloride (excess, ca. 4 g) and then was heated at ca. 120° C. for 14 hours. Water (120 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with ether. The organic extracts were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give crude N'-t-butyl-N-(thiobenzoyl)hydrazine as a viscous yellow oil.
