Popis: Treatment of 1-substituted-1-tosylhydrazines with KOH in refluxing ethanol in the presence of atmospheric oxygen affords the corresponding alcohols in high yield. This reaction, proceeding via ethanol reduction of an intermediate hydroperoxide, provides a convenient route to hydroxydeamination of primary amines.
