Acetic Acid → 1-(3-Nitropyridin-4-yl)-4-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A round-bottomed flask was charged with 1-(3-nitro-4-pyridyl)piperazine (prepared according to methods similar to the one depicted in Step 1 of Preparation N-1), dihydrofuran-3(2H)-one (98 mg, 1.13 mmol) and acetic acid (129 uL, 2.27 mmol) in MeCN (4 mL). Na(OAc)3BH (482.4 mg, 2.27 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 1 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAC and an aqueous saturated solution of Na2CO3. The organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1-(3-nitropyridin-4-yl)-4-(tetrahydrofuran-3-yl)piperazine as a yellow solid. MS (ES+) 279.1.
