Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 67972005, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 0.10 g (0.54 mmol) of 3-bromopyridine-2-carbaldehyde in 10 mL of dichloromethane was added activated powdered 4 Å molecular sieves, 0.20 mL (1.1 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine and 0.10 g (0.54 mmol) of tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate. The resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h, then 0.34 g (1.6 mmol) of solid sodium triacetoxyborohydride was added in one portion. The heterogeneous reaction was allowed to stir at ambient temperature overnight and was then filtered through a pad of Celite®. The pad was washed with dichloromethane and the combined filtrates were washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with a 0-100% ethyl acetate in hexanes gradient to afford the title compound as a colorless gum (0.055 g, 29%). LC-MS: m/z (ES) 356.2, 358.2 (MH)+.
