1-Piperazinecarboxylic acid, ethyl ester → 3,6-Difluoro-2-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-piperazinyl)-5-nitrobenzyl alcohol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,5,6-trifluoro-3-nitrobenzyl alcohol (14 g) in ethanol (64 ml) and water (7 ml) is added a mixture of 4-ethoxycarbonylpiperazine (11 g), triethylamine (12.5 g) and ethanol (18 ml) at one time. The mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight, and the resulting precipitates are separated by filtration. The crystals are washed with a small amount of diethyl ether and recrystallized from ethanol to give 3,6-difluoro-2-(4-ethoxycarbonyl-1-piperazinyl)-5-nitrobenzyl alcohol (8.7 g), as yellow needles, m.p. 147°-149° C.
