Abstract

N,N′-Bis(dimethylaminomethylene)hydrazine was synthesized in a one-step procedure from N,N′-diformylhydrazine and tert-butoxy-bis(dimethylamino)methane (Bredereck-Simchen reagent) or N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal.

Key words

condensation reaction - Bredereck-Simchen reagent - building block - iminium salts
