Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 15631609, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.7 g of 1-(2-furanylcarbonyl)-4-(2-(2-furanylcarbonyloxy)ethyl)piperazine in 30 ml of methanol, 12.5 ml of a 3% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide was added at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred for 40 minutes. After distilling off the methanol under reduced pressure, the residue was taken up in chloroform and then washed once with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The chloroform layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: a 10:1 mixture of chloroform and methanol) to give 2.3 g of an oily substance (yield: 82%).
