1-Hydroxybenzotriazole → Tert-butyl 4-(2-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.66 g of 1-Boc-piperazine, 4.53 g of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, 3.61 g of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, 4.50 g of 2-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid and 40 ml of chloroform was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with chloroform and then was washed with water and brine. The resulting organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=4/1 to 2/1) to give the title compound.
