Reaction Steps

To a solution of (trans)-1-((4-chloro-2-carboxyphenoxy)methyl)carbonyl-2,5-dimethyl-4-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperazine (0.217 g, 0.50 mmol) in a solution of tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) at 0° C. was added isobutyl chloroformate (0.075 g, 0.55 mmol) and N-methylmorpholine (0.0556 g, 0.55 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 min, resulting in formation of a white precipitate. A solution of methylamine in tetrahydrofuran (0.25 mL, 2.0 M, 0.50 mmol) was then added and the mixture stirred for 30 min more, at which time it was concentrated of volatiles in vacuo. The resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water, then brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to 0.208 g of a foam. This was dissolved in ethyl acetate and treated with 1 M ethereal HCl solution (excess). The resulting solid was collected by filtration and washed with ethyl acetate. Drying in vacuo afforded 0.19 g of (trans)-1-((4-chloro-2-(methylaminocarbonyl)phenoxy)methyl)carbonyl-2,5-dimethyl-4-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperazine as a white solid; NMR (DMSO-d6) 10.8 (br d, 1), 9.2 (br s, 1), 7.8 (s, 2), 7.7 (m, 1), 7.6 (m, 1), 7.3 (m, 3), 5.4 (d, 1), 5.0 (m, 2), 4.7 (m, 1), 4.3 (m, 3), 4.0 (m, 1), 3.6 (m, 2), 2.8 (s, 3), 1.4 (m, 3), 1.3 (m, 3) ppm.
