Dimethylformamide → 1-Benzyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 500 mL round-bottomed flask equipped with magnetic stirring was added 2-fluoronitrobenzene (14 g, 101 mmol), DIEA (19 mL, 110 mmol), 1-benzylpiperazine (18 mL, 110 mmol) (Aldrich) and DMF (250 mL). The reaction was stirred for 18 h, diluted with 400 mL of EtOAc and washed with 300 mL each of 10% NaHCO3, H2O, and brine. The organic layer was separated, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to yield 1-(2-nitrophenyl)-4-benzylpiperazine (30 g). Calc'd for C17H19N3O2: 297.15.
