Water → Tert-butyl 4-(2-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)hydrazinyl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

150 ml of a solution of borohydride in tertahydrofurane (1.0 mol/l) is slowly added to a solution of 0.12 mole of 4-(tert-butoxycarbonyl-hydrazono)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (compound 5 g) in 100 ml of dry tetrahydrofurane. After complete addition, the mixture is stirred for another 30 min after which a 100 ml of water is added to destroy the excess of borohydride. Subsequently the tetrahydrofurane is evaporated and the resulting aqeous solution extracted with diethyl ether. After drying the solvent over magnesium sulfate, the ether is evaporated. M. p. 112-115° C.
