Methyl vinyl ketone → HCID 23081416, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyl piperazine-1-carboxylate (6 g, 32.3 mmol) in THF (50 ml) was gradually added dropwise to a solution of methyl vinyl ketone (2.3 g, 32.9 mmol) in THF (25 ml) while cooling in an ice-bath, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (methylene chloride/methanol=20/1) to afford tert-butyl 4-(3-oxobutyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (7.2 g, yield 87%)as a pale yellow oil.
