Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve (S)-4-benzyl-2-(3-phenyl-allyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.37 g, 6.04 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) and treat with trifluoroacetic acid (10.3 g, 90.5 mmol) at room temperature, and stir the reaction mixture. After overnight, dilute the reaction with CH2Cl2, and basify with 2N NaOH (50 mL), extract the aqueous solution with CH2Cl2, wash the combined organic layers brine, dry over Na2SO4. Pass the crude product through a SCX column (10 g), collect the 0.2N NH3/MeOH eluent and concentrate to give 1.46 g of the title compound: mass spectrum (Electrospray): m/z=293.3 (M+1). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ7.35–7.19 (m, 10H), 6.54–6.47 (m, 1H) 6.18–6.11, 5.70–5.60 (m, 1H), 3.70 (s, 2H), 2.97–2.73 (m, 5H), 2.40–2.18 (m, 2H), 2.09–2.00 (m, 1H), 1.83 (t, 1H, J=9.8 Hz).
