Participants

Reaction Steps

1,1-Dimethylethyl-4-[2-fluoro-2-(4-methyl-1-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-5-yl)ethyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.18 g) was treated with 4M HCl in dioxane (4 mL) and stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The mixture was then concentrated to dryness. Analysis by LC indicated complete removal of the Boc group and formation of compound 5-(1-fluoro-2-piperazin-1-ylethyl)-4-methyl-2-benzofuran-1(3B)-one hydrochloride. 1H-NMR (DMSO, 500 MHz), δ 7.744 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.612 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 6.264-6.167 (m, 1H), 5.382 (s, 2H), 3.362-3.309 (m, 2H), 3.255-3.125 (m, 8H), 3.078-3.049 (m, 1H), 2.499 (s, 3H)
