Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(3-Nitro-2-pyridinyl)-4-carbobenzoxypiperazine-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.0 g. of 4-carbobenzoxypiperazine-2-carboxylic acid hydrochloride, 3.3 g. of 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine and 15 ml. of triethyl amine in 100 ml. of dimethyl sulfoxide is heated at 60° with stirring for 18 hours. The mixture is diluted with 400 ml. of water, acidified to pH 3 with concentrated hydrochloric acid, and extracted repeatedly with ether. The combined ether extracts are dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue is crystallized from ethyl acetate/heptane to give 6.3 g. of the title product, m.p. 145°-147°.
