Chloroform → tert-Butyl 4-(bromoacetyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

With cooling with ice, bromoacetyl bromide (680 μL) was added to a chloroform (10 ml) solution of 1-tert-butyloxycarbonylpiperazine (1 g) and triethylamine (2.2 mL). At that temperature, this was stirred for 0.5 hours, and then at room temperature for further 0.5 hours. The reaction liquid was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and saturated saline water, and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified through silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=7/3) to obtain 340 mg of the entitled compound.
