Triethylamine → 1-(3,4-Dichlorobenzyl)-4-(2-nitrocyclohexyl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-nitrocyclohexene (311 mg, 2.45 mmol), dichlorobenzylpiperazine [prepared as described in Example 1] (600 mg, 2.45 mmol), and triethylamine (512 μl, 3.68 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 ml) was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere for 17 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed with hexanes/ethyl acetate (2:1) as the eluant to provide 1-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4-(2-nitrocyclohexyl)piperazine (461 mg) as an oil.
