Hydrazine reduction with

Several methods are available to supplement the phenol alkylations described above. Primary alkylphenols can be produced using the more traditional Friedel-Crafts reaction. Thus an -butylphenol can be synthesized direcdy from a butyl haUde, phenol, and mild Lewis acid catalyst. Alternatively, butyryl chloride can be used to acylate phenol producing a butyrophenone. Reduction with hydrazine (a Wolff-Kishner reduction) generates butylphenol. 

Iodo-7-nitrofluorene gave 2-iodo-7-aminofluorene in 85% yield by reduction with hydrazine in the presence of Raney nickel [277], and 2-iodo-6-nitronaphthalene and 3-iodo-6-nitronaphthalene afforded the corresponding iodoaminonaphthalenes in almost quantitative yields on treatment with aqueous-alcoholic solutions of sodium hydrosulfite (hyposulfite, dithionite) [257]. 

Nitro compounds in presence of carbonyl group are selectively reduced to amines in the presence of Raney nickel catalyst. Hydrazine reduces nitrdes yielding hydrazones. Under controlled reaction conditions other functional groups, including nitroso and oxime, may be reduced. Many partially hydrogenated derivatives, such as azo-, hydrazo-, and azoxy compounds may be obtained by partial reduction with hydrazine. Reaction with chlorobenzene yields benzene. 

Dioxoosmium(VI) porphyrins were used to prepare dinitrogenosmium(II) porphyrins (path 1, P = OEP, TTP) via reduction with hydrazine hydrate in THF. The latter were transformed into bisalkoxides (path m) by autoxidation in alcohols, in dibromides (path n), thiocarbonyls (path p), nitridoosmium(VI) alkoxides (path q), or osmochromes (path r), respectively. 

Colloidal osmium may also be obtained by reduction of colloidal osmium dioxide. The last named is prepared (see p. 220) by reduction with hydrazine hydrate of potassium osmate solution suspended in lanolin, which serves as protective colloid. The product is dissolved in petroleum, precipitated with alcohol and reduced in a current of hydrogen at 50° to 60° C. A solution containing 21 per cent, of osmium has been obtained in this manner.5... 

A more permanent colloidal solution is obtained in the presence of a protective colloid. It may be prepared, for example,1 by impregnation of lanolin with a solution of potassium osmate. and subsequent reduction with hydrazine hydrate. The lanolin serves as the protective colloid. The product is dissolved in light petroleum and may be precipitated by addition of alcohol. By heating the precipitate to 50° C. in hydrogen, reduction to colloidal metallic osmium takes place. 

It has been possible to correlate yohimbine with the corynane group by opening ring E (5). The reduction product (XI) of yohimbone (IX) with sodium borohydride was converted as shown to the corresponding chloride (XII). Elimination of hydrogen chloride from this and oxidation of the unsaturated base (XIII) yielded a dialdehyde (XIV) whose bis-semicarbazone on reduction with hydrazine gave dihydrocorynantheane (XV), the absolute configuration of which had already been established (Vol. 7, p. 37).

By treatment of an alkene with phenyltellurinyl trifluoroacetate in combination with ethyl carbamate and boron trifluoride in refluxing chloroform, the addition product 5 was obtained in good yield and with complete diastereoselectivity. The stereochemistry of the product was confirmed on comparison with an authentic sample and is in agreement with the proposed mechanism. Further reduction with hydrazine gave the phenyltelluro derivative 6 in high yield, whereas heating provided the corresponding ru-oxazolidinone 725-28. 

The reagent is prepared by heating the diazonium salt (1) in anhydrous benzene. It is an unstable off-white solid. The precursor (I) is prepared from 2-methoxy-2 -nitrodi-phenyl by reduction with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of palladium to give 2-amino-2 -methoxydiphenyl this product is then diazotized with sodium nitrite in...

Numerous a, -unsaturated carbonyl compounds give anomalous reduction with hydrazine, because their hydrazones cyclize to 4,5-dihydro-l//-pyrazoles. The latter are pyrolyzed, usually in the presence of a basic catalyst, sometimes additionally using a platinum catalyst. Cyclopropanes are formed with extrusion of nitrogen.
