Propargyl bromide → 1-Ethyl-4-(prop-2-ynyl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the 1-ethylpiperazine (2.33 g, 20.2 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.79 g, 20.2 mmol) in acetone (27 ml) was added propargyl bromide (2.00 g, 13.5 mmol) dropwise at 0° C. under N2. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was filtered and the salts washed with a small amount of acetone. The filtrates were combined and evaporated gently to concentration. The residue was taken up in EtOAc and washed with water. The aqueous phase was re-extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The product was filtered and evaporated to dryness to leave a pale orange oil.
