Sodium Hydroxide → (3-Methanesulfonylphenyl)hydrazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methanesulphonyl-phenylamine (2.5 g) in 6 mL HCl was added a solution of NaNO2 in 5 mL of H2O at −5° to 0° C. After stirring for 30 min the resulted diazonium salt was poured into a cold solution (−10° to −15° C.) of stannous chloride in 6 ml HCl. The mixture of resulted hydrazine hydrochloride in HCl was stored in the refrigerator overnight. The solution was basified to pH 10, by addition of a 6N solution of NaOH, and extracted with THF. The organic layer was washed, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated to yield 2 g of a light brown solid (3-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-hydrazine.
