1-[2-(Benzimidazol-2-ylthio)ethyl]-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl piperazine → 1-[2-(Benzimidazol-2-ylthio)ethyl]piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-[2-(benzimidazol-2-ylthio)ethyl]-4-tert-butoxycarbonyl piperazine (13.83 g, 38.15 mmol) was dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid (75 mL) in an ice bath, and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes, and after elevating the temperature to room temperature, the mixture was stirred for another 40 minutes. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting crystals were recrystallized from methanol-diethyether to give 15.24 g of 1-[2-(benzimidazole-2-ylthio)ethyl]piperazine.3 trifluoroacetate (66%) as pale yellow powdery crystals.
