Reaction Steps

A 2.0-5.0 mL microwave vial was charged with tert-Butyl 1-piperazinecarboxylate (100 mg, 0.54 mmol), 2-Chloroquinoline (0.086 mL, 0.64 mmol), Sodium tert-butoxide (61.9 mg, 0.64 mmol), rac-2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl (33.4 mg, 0.05 mmol) and toluene (3 mL). The reaction mixture was degassed for 10 minutes with nitrogen, and then Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (24.58 mg, 0.03 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100°C in an oil bath for 12h. The solution was diluted with EtOAc and washed with saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was loaded on a 40g silica gel column and purified on a Teledyne Isco instrument, eluting with 10% to 40% ethyl acetate in heptane. Product not pure. Product was repurifed using a 40g Gold column with same eluent to provide tert-butyl 4-(quinolin-2-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (78 mg, 46.4 %) as a solid. MS m/z 314.3 [M+H]+ (ESI)
