Dimethylcarbamoyl Chloride → 1-Boc-4-dimethylcarbamoylpiperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-BOC-piperazine (867 mg) in dry tetrahydrofuran (8 mL) was added triethylamine (0.97 mL) followed by dimethylcarbamoyl chloride (0.51 mL). After stirring for 24 hours the reaction mixture was then diluted with dichloromethane, washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo to yield 4-dimethylcarbamoyl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (940 mg). Treatment of this compound with HCl in dichloromethane/methanol yielded piperazine-1-carboxylic acid dimethylamide.
