Potassium Carbonate → Tert-butyl 4-(4-{[4-(propan-2-yloxy)phenoxy]methyl}benzyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-[4-(chloromethyl)benzyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (4.00 g) in DMF (25 mL) were added 4-isopropoxyphenol (2.81 g) and K2CO3 (3.40 g) at room temperature, then the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 days. The reaction mixture was diluted with H2O, and extracted with AcOEt. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/AcOEt=3/1 to 1/1) to afford tert-butyl 4-(4-{[4-(propan-2-yloxy)phenoxy]methyl}benzyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate as a colorless solid (5.42 g).
