Benzyl Bromide → N'-t-butyl-N-benzoyl-N'-benzylhydrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzyl bromide (0.9 g), 1-benzoyl-2-t-butyl hydrazine (1 g) and triethylamine (0.52 g) were warmed in dimethylformamide (50 ml) at 50° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with diethylether (100 ml) and washed three times with 25 ml of water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo to afford the product as a white solid. The product was chromatographed on silica gel (G:70 to 230 mesh) using methylene chloride as eluant to afford a 75% yield of a white solid: m.p. 147-149.
