1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → Tert-butyl 4-(2-oxo-1,2,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[d][1,3]diazepin-3-yl)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-aminophenethylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate (6.9 g, 30 mmol) in DMF (110 ml) was added CDI (4.86 g, 30 mmol) in portions followed by stirring the reaction mixture at RT for 2 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organics were combined, washed with water, brine, and evaporated to dryness to give the desired product. LC/MS (10% to 99%): M/Z (M+H)+ (obs)=346; tR=3.24.
