4-(2-Trifluoromethylthiobenzoyl)piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester → Methanethione, 1-piperazinyl[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(2-trifluoromethylthiobenzoyl)piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.1 g, 5.61 mmol) in dichloromethane and trifluoroacetic acid (30 mL, 2:1) was stirred at ambient temperature overnight, the solvents were removed by evaporation. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and washed with aqueous saturated NaHCO3 and brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated to give piperazin-1-yl-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)methanethione (1.47 g, 5.36 mmol) which was used directly for next step without further purification.
