Lithium hydroxide, monohydrate → Di-tert-butyl 1-(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)hydrazine-1,2-dicarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

45 g (0.1 mol) of di-tert-butyl 1-(1-acetylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-benzoylhydrazine-1,2-dicarboxylate were dissolved in 1 L of tetrahydrofuran and a solution of 5.8 g (0.14 mol) of lithium hydroxide monohydrate in 1 L of water were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours, the tetrahydrofuran removed in vacuo and the aqueous layer extracted several times with dichloromethane. The organic phase was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness, giving 32 g (84% yield) of the title compound.
