Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A 70% aqueous solution of CF3CH2NHNH2 (325 mL, 1.986 mol) (obtained from Aldrich) was extracted with toluene (3×1200 mL). To a solution of the product from step A (600 g, 1.655 mol) in toluene (900 mL) was first added the combined toluene extracts containing the anhydrous 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl hydrazine, followed by acetic acid (121.4 g, 1.986 mol). The reaction mixture was heated at about 70° C. for about 2 hours, then another toluene extraction of 70% aqueous 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl hydrazine (50 g) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at about 80° C. for about 3.5 hours, cooled to room temperature and diluted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (2 L). The toluene layer was separated and washed with saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give an oil (754.8 g). Crystallization from methanol/water afforded the desired product as a white solid (609.5 g). 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.50 (s, 9H), 2.53 (d, 1H), 2.70 (br s, 2H), 2.88 (br s, 1H), 3.31 (m, 2H), 3.97 (m, 1H), 4.19 (m, 1H), 4.46 (br s, 1H), 4.63 (br s, 1H), 7.06 (m, 2H), 7.51 (m, 1H), 8.34 (m, 1H).
