Hydrogen Bromide → 1-Tert-butylpiperazine dihydrobromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To crude 3-[2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl]oxazolidin-2-one (1.18 g, 6.33 mmol) was added acetic acid (8.8 mL) and then 45% hydrobromic acid in acetic acid (19.5 mL). The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 3 d, poured into dichloromethane (250 mL), and filtered to give 1.87 g of a brown solid. The solid was heated at reflux in n-butanol for 2 d and the reaction mixture concentrated in vacuo. The residual solid was slurried in 3:1 diethyl ether:dichloromethane and filtered. The filtered solid was heated in ethanol, cooled to room temperature, and filtered to give 0.57 g (30%) of a white solid.
