Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(4-Phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(4-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (590 mg, 1.79 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (4 ml) and methanol (4 ml) was added a solution of 4 N hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate (4 ml), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was poured to an aqueous 1 N sodium hydroxide solution (10 ml) and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give 370 mg (90.0%) of the desired product as an oil.
