Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Amino-1-tert-butoxycarbonylpiperazine (3.00 g), 4-fluoronitrobenzene (2.54 g) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (8.82 g) were dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (30 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 18 hr. The reaction mixture was added to water and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine and dried. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)aminopiperidine (2.55 g) as a white solid.
