Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-[2-(2,1,3-benzoxadiazol-5-yl)ethyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (470 mg, 1.4 mmol) was then dissolved in dioxane (10 mL) and added 7 mL of 4M HCl in dioxane. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. Evaporated off all solvent and the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate basified with 1N NaOH. The ethyl acetate was separated and washed with brine then dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by chromatography using 5% (NH4OH:MeOH 1:10) in 95% DCM to yield 5-(2-piperazin-1-ylethyl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole. 1H-NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.72 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 2.92 (t, J=4.9 Hz, 2H), 2.88 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 2.65 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H). LC-MS: M+1=233.
