Procedure

A mixture of 4-(2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-2-furaldehyde (230 mg, 0.93 mmol) and N-methylpiperazine (0.90 mL, 8.1 mmol) in 20 mL of dichloromethane and 2 mL of 1-methylpyrolidinone was cooled to 0° C. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.21 g, 5.7 mmol) was added in portions followed by a few drops of acetic acid. The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 minutes then at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography eluting with a gradient of 20% methanol in ethyl acetate to 1% ammonium hydroxide in 20% methanol in ethyl acetate. Trituration with diethyl ether and hexane provided 57 mg (18%) of 1-{[4-(2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-2-furyl]methyl}-4-methylpiperazine as a light yellow solid, 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 2.14 (s, 3H), 2.25-2.36 (broad s, 4H), 2.38-2.46 (broad s, 4H), 3.52 (s, 2H), 4.04 (s, 3H), 6.96 (s, 1H), 7.31 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 8.14-8.20 (m, 2H), 8.38 (d, J=3 Hz, 1H); MS 332.1 (M+H)+.
