1-Methylpiperazine → tert-Butyl 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-nitrobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.28 ml (47.6 mmol) of 1-methylpiperazine is added to 4.1 g (17 mmol) of tert-butyl 4-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoate. The reaction mixture is stirred without solvent for 5 hours. 150 ml of water is added to the reaction mixture and it is stirred for 24 hours. The precipitate formed is filtered, rinsed with water and dried under vacuum to yield 4.9 g (90%) of tert-butyl 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-nitrobenzoate in the form of a yellow solid.
