Water → 4-[2-(3-Amino-phenyl)-oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylmethyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-[2-(3-Nitro-phenyl)-oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylmethyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (330 mg, 0.75 mmol) was dissolved in 6 mL of MeOH and 2 mL of water along with 210 mg of sodium hydrosulfide hydrate (3.75 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred under reflux for 4 hours. The reaction appeared to be complete based on LC/MS. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to afford essentially quantitative yield of 4-[2-(3-amino-phenyl)-oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-5-ylmethyl]-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester.
