Sodium hydride → HCID 23081557, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (1.96 g, 8.91 mmol) was added to a suspension of sodium hydride (0.37 g, 9.32 mmol) in DMSO (20 ml) while cooling in an ice-bath, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. To the mixture a solution of benzyl 4-(2-oxopropyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (2.24 g, 8.10 mmol) in DMSO (10 ml) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, and extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure to afford benzyl 4-(2-methyl-2-oxiranylmethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (1.51 g, yield 64%) as a pale yellow oil.
