Acidity of Di- and Triprotected Hydrazine Derivatives in Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Aspects of Their Alkylation

The pK(a) values in DMSO for 22 di- and triprotected hydrazine NH acids and two monosubstituted hydrazines have been determined using potentiometric titration. The results of density functional theory calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G level of gas-phase acidities of a representative selection of mono-, di-, and trisubstituted hydrazines are compared with both the relevant published and novel experimental titration data. In the course of this work, a rough estimation of the pK(a) value of hydrazine in DMSO (ca. 38.0) has been deduced. For typical triprotected compounds of this kind containing moderately electron-withdrawing carbamate and imidodicarbonate or arenesulfonylcarbamate functions the pK(a) values fall in the range 15.1-17.3, whereas for N,N'-diprotected hydrazines with a carbamate and an aromatic sulfonyl group the corresponding values are 12.7-14.5. Several of these triprotected derivatives have recently been applied preparatively in stepwise synthesis of substituted hydrazines using alkyl halides as electrophiles in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst, and a few of them, with varying success, have been examined in model experiments with benzyl alcohol, triphenylphosphine, and diethyl azodicarboxylate in the Mitsunobu reaction. The dependence of the reactivity on the intrinsic acidity of the hydrazines in this reaction is highlighted. Furthermore, the regioselective alkylation of an N,N'-diprotected hydrazine can be rationalized on the basis of the presented data.

Combination of tert-butoxycarbonyl and triphenylphosphonium protecting groups in the synthesis of substituted hydrazines

[structure: see text] A new reagent for the systematic synthesis of substituted hydrazines is reported. Unlike previously developed reagents, this one contains only two protecting groups, thus providing a faster approach to multisubstituted derivatives. The selective introduction of alkyl and acyl groups is illustrated by a few examples. Also a new fast method for the deprotection of the triphenylphosphonium group is presented.
