Potassium Carbonate → Tert-butyl 4-(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-fluoro-2-methoxy-1-nitrobenzene (15 g, 87 mmol), tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (19.59 g, 105.2 mmol) and potassium carbonate (24 g, 174 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (150 mL) was heated at 80′C for 8 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixture was poured in water (500 mL). The precipitate was filtered and washed with ethanol to give the title compound. MS: 338 (M+H+).
