Participants

Reaction Steps

10.6 g (57 mmol) of N-tert.butoxycarbonyl-piperazine are dissolved in 100 ml of dichloromethane and combined with 10.7 g (63 mmol) of 4-nitrobenzylchloride and 24 ml (171 mmol) of triethylamine. The mixture is refluxed for 12 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature the reaction solution is washed several times with water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulphate and then evaporated to dryness.
