Triethylamine → HCID 67663315, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of racemic α-bromophenylacetic acid methyl ester, 5.0 g (22.0 mmol) in 200 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added 3.4 mL (22.0 mmol) of Et3N and 10 mL (66.0 mmol) of 1-(2-pyridyl)-piperazine. The reaction mixture was refluxed for five hours, cooled to rt. and concentrated to dryness. The residue was partitioned between 20% isopropanol/chloroform and water. The mixture was washed with saturated NaHCO3, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography using MeOH/chloroform as eluant and concentrated to dryness to give a quantitative yield of the desired mixture of isomers as a yellow oil. MS (ion spray) 312.2 (M+).
