4-Nitrobenzoic Acid → HCID 27744584, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

EDCI (0.394 gm, 2.05 mmol) and HOBT (0.276 gm, 2.05 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of the 4-nitrobenzoic acid (LX, 0.253 gm, 2.05 mmol) in anhydrous DMF. The temperature of the mixture was reduced to 0° C., at which time DIPEA (1.14 ml, 6.15 mmol) was added under nitrogen atmosphere and the resultant solution (or suspension) was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. 2-piperazinone (LIX, 2.05 mmol) was then added at 0° C. The reaction mixture was then brought to room temperature and stirred for 6 h. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×25 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (3×10 ml), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated over the rotary evaporator to get the crude product. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (60-120 silica gel, ethyl acetate:hexane, 4:6) to afford pure product LXI (0.3 gm, 60%) as an off-white solid.
