Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N2-[(1R)-2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl]-N1-(3-nitrophenyl)glycinamide (2.0 g, 7.9 mmol) and tributylphosphine (2.7 mL, 15.8 mmol) in EtOAc (21 mL) was slowly added a solution of di-t-butylazodicarboxlate, (3.6 g, 15.8 mmol) in EtOAc 10 mL. The inside temperature was kept between 25° C. to 30° C. The reaction was followed by HPLC. The crude material was purified a silica gel column chromatography (2% to 5% MeOH in CH2Cl2). The compound (5R)-5-methyl-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-2-piperazinone was isolated as solid (690 mg, 37% yield) MS: M(C11H13N3O3)=235.24 (M+H)+=236.
