Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.275 g (9.04 mmol) of 4-fluoronitrobenzene in 30 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide were added 1.87 g (13.56 mmol) of potassium carbonate and 905 mg (9.04 mmol) of piperazine-2-one, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at 130° C. and for 1 hour at 140° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with chloroform, then, insoluble substances were removed off by filtration. The filtrate was condensed under reduced pressure and the resulting solid was washed with ethanol to give 859 mg (43%) of the title compound.
