Trifluoroacetic acid → 1-Isopropylpiperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

TFA (15 mL) was slowly added to a stirred solution of tert-butyl 4-isopropylpiperazine-1-carboxylate (13 g crude) in dry DCM (20 mL) under argon atmosphere at 0° C. The resulting reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 hr. The reaction mass was concentrated under vacuum and triturated the residue with n-hexane and diethyl ether. Dried under vacuum to afford the title compound (7 g, yield: 97%). MS (ESI): 129.1 [M+H]+.
