4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → HCID 86671378, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 0.5 g (2.05 mmol) of tert-butyl 4-(3-hydroxypropyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate, 0.3 g (2.46 mmol) of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and 1 g (3.07 mmol) of resin-supported triphenyl-phosphine (3 mmol/g of resin) diluted in 14.5 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran, is added dropwise at 0° C. under argon 0.614 ml (3.07 mmol) of diisopropyldiazene-1,2-dicarboxylate. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The solid is filtered then rinsed in dichloromethane. The filtrate is concentrated and diluted in a sodium hydroxide solution (1M) and the product is extracted several times with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate eluent: 4:6 to 100% ethyl acetate) to yield 0.58 g of tert-butyl 4-(3-(4-formylphenoxy)propyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate in the form of a colourless oil.
