Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 50 mL flask, Tert-butyl 4-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (1.145 g, 3.74 mmol) was combined with dichloromethane M (20 ml) to give a colorless solution. Hydrochloric acid solution, 4M in dioxane (9.34 ml, 37.4 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hours at room temperature. 15 ml of Diisoproylether were added and the mixture was stirred for 5 min at 0° C. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with 2 ml of diisopropylether and dried to yield the title compound as a white solid (0.955 grs, 100%). MS (ISP) m/z=207.4 [(M+H)+].
