Triethylamine → 3-(4-Isobutyrylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-formylbenzoic acid (750 mg, 5 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (15 mL) was added triethylamine (1.263 g, 12.5 mmol), 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.743 g, 5.5 mmol), followed by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (1.05 g, 5.5 mmol). After the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 40 mins. Then the mixture was cooled to 0° C., and 2-methyl-1-(piperazin-1-yl)propan-1-one (1.06 g, 5.5 mmol) was added portionwise. After the addition, the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (50 mL), washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (50 mL×2), 10% citric acid (50 mL), brine (30 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to give 3-(4-isobutyrylpiperazine-1-carbonyl)benzaldehyde (1.44 g, yield: 95%) as a gum. LC-MS (ESI) m/z: 289 (M+1)+.
