Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(Benzenesulfonyl)piperazine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500 ml, round-bottomed flask was charged with 1-Boc-piperazine (18.55 g, 100 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.), triethylamine (18.05 mL, 129 mmol), and 200 mL of CH2Cl2. To this was added benzenesulfonyl chloride (16.05 mL, 124 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo.). After 15 min, the mixture was diluted with water (150 mL) and the layers were separated. The organics were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give a white solid. This solid was dissolved in EtOAc (300 mL) and 150 mL of 4N HCl in dioxane. After 3 h at 65° C., the white precipitate was filtered to give 1-(phenylsulfonyl)piperazine hydrochloride (21.0 g) as a white solid.
