Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1-tert-Butyl-4-(4-nitro-phenyl)-piperazine (348 mg, 1.32 mmol) is dissolved in MeOH (10 mL) and tin (II) dichloride dihydrate (1.08 g, 4.79 mmol) is added. The mixture is cooled using a water bath and conc. HCl is added (3 mL). The reaction is stirred at 40° C. overnight. After removing the methanol, the resultant solution is basified using conc. NaOH (pH 11). The water phase is extracted with diethyl ether (3×) and the organic layers combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (308 mg, 99%) which is used in the next step without further purification. LCMS: Rt 2.16 min (87%)
