Methylhydrazine → HCID 13059392, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 20 ml of ethyl alcohol was dissolved 1.91 g (10 mmole) of S-methyl-N-acetyl-L-cysteine methylester and 5.4 ml (100 mmole) of methylhydrazine was added. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours at boiling temperature and then allowed to stand for 1 day at room temperature. After the precipitate was removed, the ethyl alcohol and the excess methylhydrazine were distilled off in vacuo to leave crystals. Thus, 1.05 g (5.1 mmole) of N-methyl-N-(S-methyl-N-acetylcysteinyl)-hydrazine was obtained in 51% yield.
