Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-2-nitropyridine (30 g, 148 mmol) in DMSO (1 L) was added K2CO3 (40 g, 296 mmol) and tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (28 g, 148 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 65° C. overnight. After cooling down, it was poured into water (2 L). The precipitated solid was collected and dried under vacuum. It was then further purified by flash column eluting with 20:1 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate and then with methylene chloride to give 115a as a yellow solid (17 g, 37%). MS: [M+H]+ 309.
