Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a 100 ml round-bottom flask, tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid (3.48 grams, 30 mmole), piperazine (5.16 grams, 60 mmole) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (4.83 grams, 30 mmole) were added, stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere and heated to 110° C. After 5 hours, the completion of the reaction was detected by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). After cooling to room temperature, the product was dissolved in chloroform, washed with a sodium hydrogen carbonate solution once and with water once. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and applied suction to obtain 5.13 grams of Compound 3.
