Water → 4-Methanesulfonylpiperazine-1-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.5 mL of methane sulfonylchloride in 50 mL of dichloromethane was added slowly to a solution of 4.9 g of 1-formylpiperazine and 6.1 mL of triethylamine in 100 mL of dichloromethane at 0° C. After stirring for 1 hour water was added and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted several times with dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to yield 5.8 g of 1-formyl-4-(methylsulfonyl)piperazine. The crude product was dissolved in 15 ml of ethanol and 15 mL of aqueous 2N NaOH and stirred for 1.5 hours at 80° C. After cooling to room temperature water was added and extracted several times with dichloromethane. The combine organic layers were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give 2.9 g of the title compound 14b. 1H-NMR 200 MHz (DMSOd6) δ: 2.70-2.77 (4H, m), 2.83 (3H, s), 2.95-3.02 (4H, m).
