1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → 1-(1H-imidazol-1-ylcarbonyl)-4-(3-phenylpropanoyl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(3-Phenylpropanoyl)piperazine hydrochloride (1.0 g) was dissolved in acetonitrile, and 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (950 mg) was added thereto at room temperature, followed by stirring at the same temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and water was added to the residue, followed by extraction with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: chloroform/methanol=95/5) to obtain 1-(1H-imidazol-1-ylcarbonyl)-4-(3-phenylpropanoyl)piperazine (1.13 g).
