Hydrazinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester → N'-(2-Cyclopropylethylidene)hydrazinecarboxylic acid ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

The solution of 2-cyclopropylethanal was diluted with 50 mL EtOH. Ethyl carbazate (5.14 g, 49.3 mmol) was added and the solution stirred at room temperature for 12 h, upon which it was concentrated in vacuo and the crude material was purified by flash column chromatography (0-5% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to give 7.1 g (85%) of the hydrazone (4a) as a colorless crystalline solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 8.21 (br s, 1H); 7.21 (s, 1H); 4.23 (m, 2H); 2.17 (t, 3H, J=5.9 Hz) 1.06 (m, 2H); 0.80 (m, 1H); 0.1 (d, 2H); 0.48 (m, 2H); 0.13 (m, 2H) ppm.
