4-Nitrobenzoic Acid → (4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)(4-nitrophenyl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-nitro-benzoic acid (10 g, 0.0598 mol) in DMF (300 mL) 1-methyl-piperazine (7.19 g, 0.0718 mol), HOBt (10.5 g, 0.0777 mol), EDC.HCl (17.12 g, 0.0897 mol) and TEA (12.1 g, 0.1196 mol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL). The organic layer was washed with water, brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound [14 g, 95%]; LC-MS (ESI): Calculated mass: 249.1; Observed mass: 250.0 [M+H]+ (RT: 0.10 min).
