The mixture was stirred overnight under argon atmosphere. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml), followed by drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate. N-benzyl-2-(4-benzoylpiperazin-1-yl)-5-nitrobenzenamine (0.1 g, 19%) was obtained by flash column chromatograph (50% ethyl acetate in hexanes). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm) 3.00-3.60 (d, br, 8H), 4.44 (d, J=5.5 Hz, 2H), 5.04 (t, J=5.5 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.34-7.65 (m, 11H), 7.67 (dd, J=8.6, 2.5 Hz, 1H). 13C NMR (125 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 48.6, 51.3, 105.5, 113.6, 119.3, 127.6, 127.7, 128.2, 129.1, 129.4, 130.5, 135.9, 138.7, 143.4, 144.3, 146.0, 171.1.
