1-(4-Nitrophenyl)piperazine → HCID 67106340, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-piperazine (2.50 g, 12.1 mmol) in pyridine (15 mL) was added a solution of pyridine-3-sulfonyl chloride (2.78 g, 15.7 mmol) in THF (30 mL) under an argon atmosphere at 0° C. The reaction was warmed to r.t. and stirred for 2 h, before the mixture was evaporated to dryness. The residue was partitioned between water and dichloromethane, the organic layer separated and washed successively with sat. sodium bicarbonate solution, water and brine. The organics were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was subjected to column chromatography over neutral alumina using 5% to 70% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether as eluent to afford 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-4-(pyridine-3-sulfonyl)-piperazine (1.63 g, 39%) as a yellow solid.
