Abstract

Mercuric oxide mediated one-pot synthesis of substituted piperazines via oxidative diamination of olefins with N-protected ethylene diamine has been reported. Among the various conditions tried, mercuric (II) oxide/tetrafluoroboric acid gave good to excellent yields of the desired products. A series of piperazines have been synthesized and characterized by NMR and mass spectroscopy methods.
