(1,1'-Biphenyl)-4-carboxaldehyde → HCID 89676933, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL round-bottom flask was charged with tert-butyl 3-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate (1.00 g, 4.99 mmol, 1.00 equiv), 4-phenylbenzaldehyde (1.00 g, 5.49 mmol, 1.10 equiv), sodium triacetoxyborohydride (3.18 g, 15.0 mmol, 3.01 equiv), 1,2-dichloroethane (30 mL). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The resulting solution was washed with water (1×120 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×20 mL) and the organic layers were combined, 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 (1/5) to yield 1.71 g (93% yield) of tert-butyl 3-methyl-4-[(4-phenylphenyl)methyl]piperazine-1-carboxylate as a light yellow solid. LCMS (ESI, m/z): 367 [M+H]+.
