tert-Butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate → HCID 89676972, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round-bottom flask was charged with 2-chloro-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)benzaldehyde (1.40 g, 6.68 mmol, 1.10 equiv), tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (1.13 g, 6.07 mmol, 1.00 equiv), 1,2-dichloroethane (20 mL). The mixture was stirred 30 min at room temperature. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (3.85 g, 18.2 mmol, 2.99 equiv) was added. The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature and diluted with 1,2-dichloroethane (20 mL). The resulting solution washed with H2O (2×20 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 (3/7) to yield 1.95 g (77% yield) of tert-butyl 4-[[2-chloro-6-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)phenyl]methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate as yellow oil. LCMS (ESI, m/z): 380 [M+H]+.
