Reaction Steps

The product of step 1 (640 mg, 3.15 mmol) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (12 mL), the system was flushed with N2 and hydrazine (404 mg, 12.6 mmol) was added and the reaction refluxed overnight. HPLC showed 78% product and 21% starting material. To drive the reaction to completion 2 equivalents of additional hydrazine was added and reaction was refluxed for additional 5 hours, at this time HPLC indicated 95% product. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the residue was stirred with water. A white solid, 390 mg (58%) was isolated. HPLC indicated 86% product and 14% starting material. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to yield 258 mg (38%) of 1-[4-(isopropylsulfonyl)phenyl]hydrazine with 99% purity. MH+=215. The 390 mg was re-dissolved in 10 mL ethanol and treated once more with additional hydrazine to obtain additional product with the desired purity.
