Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(4-amino-2-fluorophenyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (885 mg, 3 mmol) in 8 mL of aq HBr was added a solution of NaNO2 (228 mg, 3.3 mmol) in 2 mL of H2O at 0° C., then the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 40 minutes. After that, the mixture was poured into a solution of CuBr (905 mg, 6.3 mmol) in 8 mL aq HBr at 0° C. The reaction was heated to 60° C. and stirred for 2 hours. After cooling, the mixture was based with 2M NaOH to pH=8-9 and extracted with EA, washed with H2O and brine, dried and concentrated to give black solid. MS (m/z): 261 (M+H)+
