Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.2 g (0.07 mole) formylhydrazine and 20 ml (28.5 g, 0.16 mole) methyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate was stirred at room temperature. After 10 minutes a vigorous reaction occurred and the temperature rose to 65° C. The beige solid that formed was washed with petroleum ether and dried to give 11.0 g [77%, mp 124°-126° C. (decomposed)] of product. An analytical sample was recrystallized from toluene [mp 128°-130° C. (decomposed)]. The structure was confirmed via infrared and elemental analysis.
