Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl (3S)-3-methyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate (1 g, 4.99 mmol) in DMF (5 ml) was added 6-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (0.685 g, 0.340 mmol), HOBT.H2O (0.765 g, 4.99 mmol) and HBTU (1.894 g, 4.99 mmol). Finally DIPEA (2.62 ml, 14.98 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. Solvent was removed by evaporation and EtOAc was added to the residue and the solution was extracted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride solutions. The organic layer was evaporated to dryness and dissolved in dioxane (100 ml) and stirred with 4M HCl in dioxane (15 ml) and water (0.25 ml) overnight. The solution was evaporated to dryness and purified using an ion exchange column (SCX, Biotage) to give the title compound as an oil (1.04 g)
