Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 1-(Pyridin-2-yl)piperidine-4-carbohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,4,5,6-Tetrahydro-2H-[1,2′]bipyridinyl-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (35 g, 150 mmol) (see reference Farmaco, 1993, 48(10), 1439) was dissolved in methanol (700 mL) containing hydrazine hydrate (34 mL, 150 mmol) and was heated under reflux for 18 hours. After this time, more hydrazine hydrate (22.7 mL, 100 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred for a further 18 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and evaporated under reduced pressure. The solid formed was triturated with ethyl acetate to give the title compound as a white solid.
