Dichloromethane → tert-Butyl 4-((4-bromofuran-2-yl)methyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromofuran-2-carbaldehyde (500 mg, 2.85 mmol) and CH2Cl2 (10 mL) was added tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (1.06 g, 5.74 mmol) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (1.2 g, 5.74 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The resultant mixture was diluted with EtOAc (100 mL), washed with brine then dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica, 0-5% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to afford the sub-title compound (900 mg, 91%).
