Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 3-Benzyl-3-azabicyclo(3.1.0)hexan-6-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-benzyl-6-nitro-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (4.00 g) and a catalytic amount of Raney nickel in MeOH was added slowly a solution of 98% H2NNH2—H2O (70 mL) at rt. The mixture was stirred for 5 h at room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as brown oil (3.60 g) and the crude product was used for the next step without further purification. The compound was characterized by the following spectroscopic data: MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 204.3 (M+1).
