Bromine → HCID 59769448, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-[2-(3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohexyl)phenyl]piperazine-1-carboxylic acid t-butyl ester (2.93 g, 7.31 mmol) produced in Example (8a), sodium acetate (6 g, 73.14 mmol) and methanol (50 mL) was added bromine (0.37 mL, 7.22 mmol), followed by stirring for 20 minutes at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. Saturated aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate, ethyl acetate and water were added to the reaction mixture and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate. The separated organic layer was washed with brine and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The desiccant was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resultant residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 2.67 g of the title compound as colorless crystals.
