1-Benzyl 2-tert-butyl 1-methylhydrazine-1,2-dicarboxylate → N'-methyl(tert-butoxy)carbohydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 24.8 g (70.8 mmol) of 1-benzyl 2-tert-butyl 1-methylhydrazine-1,2-dicarboxylate in 500 ml of ethanol was hydrogenated in the presence of 1.24 g of palladium (10% on activated carbon) at RT and standard pressure. The reaction mixture was then filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and dried. Yield: 12.3 g (purity 48%, 57% of theory)
