4-Nitrophenyl chloroformate → HCID 69022709, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 1-(1-ethylpropyl)piperazine (156 mg, 1.0 mmol) and dry DCM (10 ml) was added 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (201 mg, 1.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature and then diluted with DCM (50 ml). The reaction mixture was washed with 1 N NaOH (3×20 ml) and water (3×20 ml) and dried (MgSO4). The organic solution was concentrated to yield an oil that was dissolved in a 0.5 N HCl solution (15 ml). The acidic solution was concentrated and re-evaporated twice with acetonitrile to give 290 mg (81%) of the title compound as a solid. M.p. 251–253° C.
