2,4-Difluoronitrobenzene → tert-Butyl 4-(5-Fluoro-2-nitrophenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,4-Difluoronitrobenzene (10.0 g, 62.9 mmol), t-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (11.7 g, 62.9 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (8.10 g, 62.9 mmol) were stirred at room temperature in dry acetonitrile (100 mL) for 16 h. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with water. The dichloromethane was removed by rotary evaporation to collect the title compound (19.0 g, 93%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.91 (dd, 1H), 6.75 (m, 2H), 3.60 (m, 4H), 3.03 (m, 4H), 1.48 (s, 9H); MS (ESI) m/z: Calculated for C15H20FN3O4Na: 348.13; Observed: 348.1 (M++Na).
