Diethyl Ether → HCID 2845510, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-nitrobenzylbromide (2.2 g; 10.0 mmol) in NMP (5 ml) was added ethyl piperazine-1-carboxylate dropwise with stirring. At the end of the addition the temperature had reached 35° C. Triethylamine (1.39 ml) was added causing the temperature to rise to 40° C. The mixture was stirred for additionally 30 min. prior to dilution with diethyl ether (25 ml). The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The concentrate was suspended in diethyl ether and filtered. The filtrate was diluted with ethyl acetate and extracted with diluted hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase was rendered alkaline by addition of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated to dryness to leave 6a (1.72 g; 59%).
