Potassium Carbonate → tert-Butyl 4-(1,3-benzoxazol-2-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 52.5 mmol 2-chlorobenzoxazol, 53.6 mmol piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester and 63 mmol of potassium carbonate in 60 ml of acetonitrile was refluxed for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried and concentrated to yield the title compounds as a slightly orange solid. MS (m/e): 304.2 (M+H+)
