Diisopropylethylamine → 1-Tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-benzhydrylpiperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Di-tert-butyl carbonate (996 mg) was added to a mixture of 2-benzhydrylpiperazine dihydrochloride (1.65 g) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.5 ml) in N,N-dimethylformamide (17 ml) under ice-cooling. After being stirred at same temperature for 2 hours, the mixture was poured into ice-water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a crude oil. The oil was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and methanol (50:1) to give 1-tert-butoxycarbonyl-3-benzhydrylpiperazine (1.26 g) as a colorless powder.
