Mj. Digrandi et Jw. Tilley, THE DIRECT PREPARATION OF PROTECTED HYDRAZINES FROM ALCOHOLS VIA MITSUNOBU CHEMISTRY, Tetrahedron letters, 37(25), 1996, pp. 4327-4330
A general method for converting primary and secondary alcohols to prot
ected hydrazines wing the Mitsunobu reaction is reported. The reaction
of alpha-hydroxy esters affords dihydrohydrazino esters rather than t
