Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

N-Ethylpiperazine (4.8 mL, 37.7 mmol, 1.2 equiv) is added to a mixture of 2,4-difluoronitrobenzene (5 g, 31.4 mmol) and potassium carbonate (8.7 g, 62.9 mmol, 2 equiv) in DMF (50 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at 100° C. for 6 h, allowed to cool to RT, diluted with H2O and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase is washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (DCM/MeOH+1% NH3aq, 95:5) to provide the title compound as a yellow oil: ES-MS: 254.1 [MH]+; TLC: Rf=0.67 (DCM/MeOH+1% NH3aq, 95:5).
