1-Piperazinecarboxaldehyde → HCID 19421679, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,41 ml of diphenylphosphoryl azide and 1.09 ml of 1-formylpiperazine were added to a 60 ml of a methylene chloride solution of 3.00 g of 3,3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)acrylic acid and 2.94 ml of triethylamine. The reaction mixture was then stirred for2 hours at room temperature, after which it was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and extracted twice with methylene chloride. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in 80 ml of methanol, and 40 ml of a 10% w/v aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide were added to the resulting solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours at room temperature and then poured into water: it was then extracted twice with methylene chloride. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography through 80 g of silica gel eluted with mixtures of methylene chloride and methanol ranging from 19:1 to 4:1 by volume to give 3.00 g of 1-[3,3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)acryloyl]piperazine as a powder.
