Procedure

A solution of 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzonitrile (500 mg, 3.0 mmol) in ethanol (35 mL) was treated with potassium carbonate (420 mg, 3.0 mmol) and piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (560 mg, 3.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 1 h, then cooled and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was then collected, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to a yellow residue. Purification using flash chromatography yielded 4-(2-cyano-4-nitro-phenyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (590 mg, 59% yield) as a bright yellow solid. HRMS calcd for C16H20N4O4 (M+Na) 355.1377, obsd 355.1376.
