4-Methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid → HCID 16962626, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methyl-3-nitro-benzoic acid (300 mg, 2.76 mmol), N-butoxycarbonyl-piperazine (340 mg, 1.83 mmol) in DMF (3.0 mL), triethylamine (300 μL, 3.59 mmol), TBTU (800 mg, 2.49 mmol) and HOAt (270.5 mg, 1.99 mmol) are added and stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The mixture is poured into water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with water and then brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue is purified with silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1) to afford 4-(4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a colorless solid.
