Reaction Steps

1-Chloro-isoquinoline (176 mg, 1.07 mmol), piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (420 mg, 2.26 mmol) and DBU (0.25 mL, 1.61 mmol) were added into DMP (2 mL). The mixture was heated to 105-110° C. for overnight. The residue was diluted with water and extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (5% to 10% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 222 mg of the desired product 4-isoquinolin-1-yl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (yield: 66%).
