3-Bromo-4-nitropyridine N-oxide → 1-(4-Nitro-1-oxido-pyridin-1-ium-3-yl)-4-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-bromo-4-nitro-1-oxido-pyridin-1-ium (500 mg, 2.283 mmol) and 1-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazine (649.3 mg, 4.566 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) were heated at reflux for 17 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was passed through a 25 g SCX-2 cartridge (pre-wetted with MeOH), eluting with 2M NH3 in MeOH/DCM. The solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue purified by column chromatography (ISCO Companion, 40 g column, eluting with 0 to 10% MeOH/DCM, loaded in DCM) to give 1-(4-nitro-1-oxido-pyridin-1-ium-3-yl)-4-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazine as an orange solid (553 mg, 86% Yield).
