Application

N,N-Dimethylhydrazine can react with:
  • β-Naphthol via radical amination to form 1-amino-2-naphthol.
  • 2-Chloro- and 2,2-dichloro-(bromo)vinyl ketones via regioselective heterocyclization to form 3-substituted 1-methyl(5-halo)pyrazoles.
  • Terminal alkynes in the presence of TpRuCl(PPh3)2 (Tp = tris(pyrazolyl)borate) to form nitriles.


N,N-Dimethylhydrazine along with ferric chloride hexahydrate forms an effective reduction system for:
  • Synthesizing DNA binding pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine (PBD) imines via reductive cyclization of the corresponding nitro aldehyde.
  • Transforming a variety of nitroarenes and azido compounds into the corresponding anilines and amino compounds, respectively.
