Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-4-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-benzoic acid tert-butyl ester (11.5 g, 39.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (340 mL) were added tetrahydro-pyran-4-one (4.5 mL, 49.3 mmol), trifluoroacetic acid (8.2 mL) and tetramethylammonium triacetoxyborohydride (15.57 g, 59.2 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours then washed with 0.5N hydrochloric acid, with 0.5N NaOH and with a saturated solution of NaHCO3. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness affording the title compound as a pale yellow solid (13.3 g, 90% yield).
