Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 5.0 g (19.6 mmol) of commercial methyl (S)-2-amino-3-tert-butoxycarbonylaminopropanoate hydrochloride and 3.3 g (19.6 mmol) of bis(2-chloroethyl)ethylamine in 50 ml of N,N-diisopropylethylamine is heated at 127° C. for 5 h. After evaporation of a maximum amount of diisopropylethylamine, the reaction medium is diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide having a concentration of 1N. The organic phase obtained is then washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The crude product obtained is purified by chromatography on silica gel, elution being carried out with a 30/70 heptane/ethyl acetate mixture. 2.5 g (40%) of methyl (S)-3-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-2-(4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)propanoate are obtained in the form of an oil.
