Potassium Carbonate → tert-butyl 4-[4-[(E)-hydroxyiminomethyl]phenyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of tert-butyl 4-(4-formylphenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (3.89 g, 13.41 mmol, prepared as described in Example 10) and K2CO3 (1.02 g, 7.38 mmol) in EtOH (50 mL) was added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.4 g, 20.1 mmol) in water (saturated, approx. 2 mL) and the reaction mixture stirred overnight. The reaction was filtered, concentrated in vacuo, water was added and the product filtered to afford tert-butyl 4-{4-[(E)-(hydroxyimino)methyl]phenyl}piperazine-1-carboxylate.
