tert-Butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate → HCID 89676963, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round-bottom flask was charged with 2-(morpholin-4-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (1.00 g, 3.86 mmol, 1.00 equiv), tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (0.650 g, 3.51 mmol, 0.91 equiv), dichloromethane (15 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (2.23 g, 10.5 mmol, 2.73 equiv) was added. The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature and diluted with dichloromethane (15 mL). The organic layers were washed with H2O (2×10 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1/4) to yield 1.30 g (78% yield) of tert-butyl 4-[[2-(morpholin-4-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate as light yellow oil. LCMS (ESI, m/z): 430 [M+H]+
