In general the synthesis of suitably protected amino acid and peptide hydrazides from the corresponding alkyl or aryl esters by reaction with hydrazine hydrate is carried out in alcohols or DMF at ambient temperature.P However, with C-terminal branched amino acids such as valine or isoleucine, or larger peptides, more vigorous conditions are required, i.e. higher temperature (25-80°C) and longer reaction times. To avoid formation of symmetrical bis(A-acyl-aminoacyl)hydrazides an excess of hydrazine hydrate or hydrazine is recommended, which also enhances the reaction rates. In this context, the solvent is known to play an important role, with alcohols being more appropriate than DMFP 0 or solvent mixtures such as dioxane/methanol.f l The use of hydrazine hydrate without any solvent has also been reported. ... 

The most useful procedure utilises a 1,4-keto-ester giving a dihydro-pyridazinone, which can be easily dehydrogenated to the fully aromatic heterocycle, often by C-bromination then dehydrobromination alternatively, simple air oxidation can often suffice. 6-Aryl-pyridazin-3-ones have been produced by this route in a number of ways using an a-amino nitrile as a masked ketone in the four-carbon component, or by reaction of an acetophenone with glyoxylic acid and then hydrazine. Friedel-Crafts acylation using succinic anhydride is an alternative route to 1,4-keto-acids, reaction with hydrazine giving 6-aryl-pyridazinones. Alkylation of an enamine with a phenacyl bromide prodnces 1-aryl-l,4-diketones, allowing synthesis of 3-aryl-pyridazines. ... 

Camarero et al. [108] used the hydrazine safety-catch linker to prepare peptide thioesters. After assembling the peptide using standard Fmoc protocols, the fully protected peptide resin was activated by mild oxidation with N-bromosuc-cinimide (NB S) in the presence of pyridine, forming a reactive acyl diazene that was then deaved with an a-amino add S-alkyl thioester such as H-AA-SEt, where AA is Gly or Ala. After TFA deprotection, peptide thioesters were obtained in good yields. Although the oxidation step did produce racemization, and other sensitive amino acids such as Tyr(tBu) and Trp(Boc) were not affected, Met and Cys presented some problems. Met was completely oxidized, and a reductive cleavage was required. For Cys, the Cys(Trt) derivative should be avoided and use of Cys(Npys) or Cys(S-StBu) is recommended instead. 

Imines are reduced by triethylsilane to their amines when the proper Ir orNi catalysts areemployed. Non-metal-mediated reductions of C=N groups by EtsSiH are also possible. Among these, the trifluorosulfonic acid promoted reductive amidation of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes with EtsSiH is an excellent way to mono (V-alkylate aliphatic and aromatic amides, thioamides, carbamates, and ureas (eq 26). It is also worth noting that trifluorosulfonic acid/EtsSiH reduces acyl- and tosylhydrazones to hydrazines and 2-aminopyrimidines to 2-amino-dihydro-or 2-aminotetrahydropyrimidines (eq 27). ... 

Hydrazine itself may be subjected to a variety of facile substitution reactions because of its great nucleophilic character. It may react with alkyl halides and activated aryl halides to yield substituted hydrazines. With acyl halides, esters, and amides it may form hydrazides. With carbonyl compounds, hydrazones form. Since hydrazine is bifunctional in nature, both amino groups may undergo reaction. In the case of the reaction of hydrazine with two moles of a carbonyl compound, the products are termed azines. ...
