tert-Butyl 4-(2-methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate → Tert-butyl 4-(5-amino-2-methoxyphenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

33 g of 4-(2-Methoxy-5-nitro-phenyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (97.8 mmol) were dissolved in 450 mL of methanol. 3 g of 10% Pd/C were added at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere, and the reaction mixture was hydrogenated for 4 h. The reaction mixture was filtered over Celite, the was solvent evaporated and the remaining residue was treated with 100 mL of diisopropylether. Once crystallization started, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the remaining product dried thoroughly. This material was used in subsequent steps without further purification.
